Draft Policy ARIN-2019-11: M&A Regional Nexus Exclusion
Problem Statement:
Merger, acquisition, or reorganization activity sometimes results in a
restructuring where company resources, the management of number
resources, and the use of number resources are concentrated outside the
ARIN service region. In this case the surviving legal entity may no
longer meet the ARIN service region nexus requirements, but may prefer
to continue the pre-existing relationship with ARIN.
Example: Imagine a case where a global company has decided to
discontinue service in the ARIN service region (shuttering ARIN region
offices laying off ARIN region employees, and canceling ARIN region
customers) and repurpose the network resources and number resources in
the rest of its global footprint.
Imagine a case where a global company has decided to divest its service
in the ARIN region (selling all ARIN region offices, all ARIN region
network assets, all ARIN service region customers, all number resources
used in the ARIN (associated with previous noted sale of network and
customers), but retaining ARIN issued resources in use outside of the
ARIN service region.
Policy Statement:
Add to section 8.2:
Nexus to ARIN service region requirements as defined in section 9 will
be exempted for M&A.
Comments:
Timetable for implementation: Immediate
