[arin-ppml] ARIN-prop-172 Additional definition for NRPM Section 2 - Legacy Resources

[David Farmer]

Jimmy,

Section 4 applies to IPv4 resources, this issue is more fundamental.  I 
have submitted the following policy proposal.

------
Policy statement:

Add as a new paragraph at the beginning of Section 1;

ARIN is the Internet number registry for its service region and ARIN 
number resource policies apply to all resources in the ARIN registry, 
including those resources issued from a predecessor registry in the 
Internet Registry system.

Rationale:

There is a perception by some that ARIN policy may not apply to legacy 
resources. This proposal clarifies that ARIN policies apply to all 
resources in the ARIN registry regardless if they are legacy-issued 
resources.  ARIN was formed to give the users of IP numbers within North 
American a voice in the policies by which they are managed and allocated 
in the region.

This seems to be requiring all legacy holders to sign an RSA, I'm 
concerned about that level of a change.  And that there is an 
implication that this should happen within 3 month.
