Jason - 

That is effectively what we do; ARIN confirms that the parties 
who make use of the STLS service as a source for “block B”
are the ones who presently hold the rights to that block and
that such rights may be transferred to another party.  We then
allow the source organization (if they wish) to be included in
the STLS listing of available number resources for transfer.

Short of a very unusual event, that will be the case for the
entire address block.  (Obviously if we determine later that
fraudulent representations where made in asserting the
rights in question, that would change things.)
