It is usually more than 5 and less than 20 reassignments that ARIN is asked to remove because the Admin POC that did the reassignments is not responding to the request to remove it. ARIN has been informed that this has caused problems due to subpoenas being issued for nefarious activities that have taken place using these IP addresses. So yes, it does happen and yes, there are negative effects to the organization that these reassignments are made to.

Hi John,

For that monthly number, are we talking all folks who complain that an
address block is incorrectly linked to them, or just folks for which
ARIN has confirmed a malicious linkage?

I note that the proposed solution could only impact cases where (A)
the org legitimately created their own POC and (B) never legitimately
had the addresses assigned to it. Stale ISP entries and orgs for whom
registrations were created without their knowledge would not be
helped.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
