<div class="">Hi John,<br class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Out of curiosity: how is ARIN dealing with "organizations" which were and are an unregistered alias of the original individual registrant without any severable legal existence? The discussion I see here seems to presume characteristics of the
legacy registrations that were not formalized or enforced until after ARIN's creation.</div>

<div> You may have to elaborate on your question, but I’ll answer as best I can based</div>
<div> on my understanding of your query.</div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div> Early IP address applicants were asked for "the responsible organization </div>
<div> establishing the network” (generally question 5b on most versions of the </div>
<div> INTERNET-NUMBER-TEMPLATE.TXT) While tthe responsible organization </div>
<div> did not have to be a legal entity, it is clear that networks had organizations </div>
<div> were responsible for the establishment of networks and the request for </div>
<div> associated IP address space. </div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div> If a legacy registrant is making use of their original contact and email address, </div>
<div> then they should have no difficulty updating their name servers, etc. If they </div>
<div> are no longer clearly associated and assert that they hold the rights to the </div>
<div> address block, then we seek some form of documentation which supports that </div>
<div> assertion. (Obviously the most problematic situations are those in which the </div>
<div> original organization still exists and the requester asserts that they hold the rights </div>
<div> not the organization on the record - in such cases ARIN needs to be certain that</div>
<div> we’re not harming the organization by approving the requesters change and </div>
<div> disassociating the original organization from the address block.) </div>
