[ARIN-consult] ARIN Resource Revocation Procedures

[Ryan, Stephen]

The amount of money owed or paid to ARIN will not likely be the cause of  a bankruptcy, since the fees to ARIN are very modest. ARIN's experience is it gets paid when it revokes.  In recent times, ARIN has not pursued to a judgement and then reported to bankruptcy court as one of the unresolved judgements.  ARIN could do so, and reserves the right to do so, but the small amount at issue makes that uneconomical in most instances.  Employee salaries,  rent,  etc. are where unpaid creditors are normally seeking judgements, and throwing folks into bankruptcy. But ARIN would put itself at the end of the line of creditors to be paid if it maintains too long a redemption policy before revocation.

I think that there should be some sort of differentiation between
'abandoned' resources and resources that an entity wants to keep but is
having trouble paying the fees for. In this economic recession, many
organisations are suffering, having trouble paying salaries, and it would
be a shame to push them into insolvency faster than is needed.
