"ARIN will proceed with processing transfer requests even if the
number resources of the combined organizations EXCEED WHAT CAN BE
JUSTIFIED UNDER CURRENT ARIN POLICY. IN THAT EVENT, ARIN will work
with the resource holder(s) to transfer the extra number resources to
other organization(s) or accept a voluntary return of the extra number
resources to ARIN."
I don't see an "or let you keep the extra number resources' in there.
Correct. You also don't see a MUST in the context of MUST transfer or MUST
return. The RSA forbids it, and the community has never given ARIN such
power in policy.
The AC has tried to fix this text a few times, and perhaps we haven't done
a good enough job.
