However if John had mistakenly asserted that the heirs and successors of any party that had ever signed Version 12.0 (or 11.0 or 10.2 or 10.1, or 10.0) of the RSA have _any_ rights with respect to the number resources that were assigned to that (now dead) person or company, then I would urge John, and indeed everyone with a serious interest in these matters to re-read Section 7 and also Section 10(c) of Version 12.0 of the RSA/LRSA. Because those sections are quite clear. ARIN-issued number resources are explicitly NOT property and also are explicitly NOT a part of any bankruptcy estate. Thus they MAY NOT be inherited by a heir, successor, or assign. Period. Full stop. It's in the contract. I suspect that if John said anything about "inheriting" rights to number resources, then he was most likely only refering to those (legacy) resources for which no RSA�or LRSA had even been entered into. In short, rights to legacy resources may be inherited by heirs, successors, and assigns. In contrast, rights to non-legacy resources (where a previously signed RSA or LRSA does exist) MAY NOT be inherited by an heir, successor, or assign. Regards, rfg
