If you believe that the qualified facilitator failed in their duty to you (more specifically, if they did not live up to an aspect of the code of conduct – https://www.arin.net/resources/registry/transfers/facilitators/codeofconduct/) then please drop ARIN a message with the specifics to [email protected] <https://iptrading.com/> <https://iptrading.com/> It took a significant amount of badgering the original block holder (an entity with which we had no pre-existing relationship or direct contacts into their engineering department) to get them to withdraw the announcement, which we did independently of the broker and quicker than they responded to us. So my message would be to do your own due diligence and investigation of IP space and don't trust what the "broker" tells you. <https://iptrading.com/> <https://iptrading.com/> Absolutely - always a good idea. <https://iptrading.com/> <https://iptrading.com/> Thanks for feedback! <https://iptrading.com/> /John <https://iptrading.com/> <https://iptrading.com/> John Curran <https://iptrading.com/> President and CEO <https://iptrading.com/> American Registry for Internet Numbers <https://iptrading.com/> <https://iptrading.com/> <https://iptrading.com/> <https://iptrading.com/>
