This new text removes the threat of reclamation from the policy manual as the current RSA (section 6) prohibits ARIN from reclaiming addresses for lack of use, but this rewrite does not make it clear that an organization can retain their addresses for future use. This change makes it clear that resources or parts of resources will not become orphaned blocks due to a merger or acquisition. I believe this change would promote registry accuracy as it should allow organizations to update all their records to show the new holder and user of the resources regardless of utilization. May I suggest the following rewrite to clarify that an organization can retain their addresses through a transfer. ...ARIN will notify the resource holder(s) that they may return or transfer resources as needed to restore compliance via the processes outlined in current ARIN policy or retain their resources for future use or later transfer/return.
