Finally: Legacy Registrations. Legacy registrations are not hampered by an ARIN contract - they don't have one. This means a legacy registrant would not have to overcome anything written in the RSA.
As a holder of legacy address space, I really had no interest in having ARIN take over the registry that held the records of those assignments, but as long as they were correct, I grudgingly accepted that outcome (interestingly, ARIN then managed to subsequently change the records for one of the blocks even though such a change was never requested.. it actually made consolidating my holdings easier, but it shouldn't have happened).
I am pretty certain that I can sell these addresses to whomever I want, whenever I want. It does appear that if/when I do, ARIN may choose to not update the records in the database they've chosen to maintain (and others have chosen to depend upon) of legacy address registrations. That will be bad for the accuracy of that database, and might make the buyer a little nervous, but with a bill of sale with my signature on it, they should be fine, and perfectly able to use the addresses internally and to announce them on the global Internet.
Or the buyer might instead choose to sign a contract with ARIN and have the records updated in accordance with policy. That'd be fine too, but as a seller of legacy space I could really not care less.
