Bill You said what I tried to remember and say. :-) You forget "Inside The Beltway" One could never win tortuous interference lawsuit of this nature. We do not speak their language which the Federal Courts also speak in the DC Circuit. :-) It is business as usual for them. :-( They probably would counter-sue us for damages and win. :-(

That gets murky but the bottom line is there's no clear grant of authority for ARIN to make unilateral changes to legacy database while there is a clear assignment of responsibility to indefinitely operate that database as a condition of taking over the InterNIC function from the U.S. government. Bill - ARIN making unilateral changes on an ad-hoc basis? I certainly would hope not. However, if you are referring changes made accordingly to the policies established by the community, that’s an entirely different matter – and actually fundamental as to why the transition to ARIN – "Creation of ARIN will give the users of IP numbers (mostly Internet service providers, corporations and other large institutions) a voice in the policies by which they are managed and allocated within the North American region.” Internet Moves Toward Privatization, National Science Foundation, June 1997 < [ https://www.nsf.gov/news/news_summ.jsp?cntn_id=102819 | https://www.nsf.gov/news/news_summ.jsp?cntn_id=102819 ] > If you’re a legacy resource holder, it’s best to recognize that ARIN’s formation was precisely so that you could gain the ability to participate & gain a voice in policy development for management of the registry (as opposed to having it set by some US government contractor or bureaucrat.) i.e. it’s a lot less murky than you suggest.
