Go back and read John's comments again. He did say heirs/successors had rights in probate. I asked him to repeat that and he did. - Original Message - From: "Mark Andrews" To: "Ted Mittelstaedt" Cc: "arin-ppml" Sent: Saturday, August 6, 2022 9:05:25 PM Subject: Re: [arin-ppml] Deceased

I disagree that this is a straw man argument! 1) If the US Congress passes a law to change the status quo of ARIN's authority over Legacy resources, you can say on this list that Congress does not have that authority, but they funded the Internet - and every judge in America would try to

I love the sentiment but smaller ISP's may not have routers with the horsepower for extensive filters. Let me ask you this, Mark: Would it be of value if ARIN maintained a list of networks of entities that fail to keep their POC's current? In a format that would be easy to write a script to

ERX: Early Registration Transfers mostly happened a long time ago or shortly after LACNIC and AFRINIC were created. See the following; https://www.arin.net/vault/participate/meetings/reports/ARIN_X/PDF/erx.pdf On Sat, Aug 6, 2022 at 17:24 Ted Mittelstaedt wrote: > Once more, nobody cares

And if you feel like it you can filter all announcements for those entities that fail to keep their POCs current. If enough do that then there will be back pressure to cause the entity to rectify the situation if they are using the addresses publically. Also the addresses can’t be used by

1) The US Congress does not have any control over the Internet so they can't do squat about this. 2) You are constantly using "take back" in a way that implies these 800 pound gorillas are a) in existence b) actively using the blocks so that anyone at the 800 pound gorilla would care

Once more, nobody cares about those because they are _in use_. Interesting that there's a handful of legacy space in other RIRs. I hadn't thought about transfers. However I don't believe transfers can happen unless they sign an LSRA so they are "in the system" at that point. Ted On

Just a point of clarification. ARIN is not the only RIR with legacy blocks.Check ARIN ERX Transfers.Every RIR has them, and has similar policies regarding them.There are some significant differences related to transfers of legacy space. Regards,Mike --- Original Message --- >From

The many posts to the PPML reflect your desire to somehow reclaim Legacy IPv4 space that isn't being used or space that might have been acquired in a way that is deemed unethical or possibly worse. As you may know, these subjects have been discussed many many times ad nauseum in this PPML

That is correct which is why John has repeatedly stated that action on these needs to originate with the community. Essentially the RIR system's legal support and basis for power is the same as the United Nations various subcommittees such as WIPO - general consensus among members. ARIN is
