<div class="gmail_extra">What happens if the POC falls out of date and line 5b (or 4b as it was on some versions) on the original registration was essentially a fictitious name which served as an alias for the individual making the registration? Cases where
the 5b name does not and never did exist as an independent legal entity? Or as Steven described, a like-named organization exists today but did not then and has no connection to the number resource?<br class="">

They are the problematic cases, as we definitely do not want to deprive the original registrant</div>
<div>(or their legal successor) of rights to their number resources, but must take great care to avoid </div>
<div>facilitating a party which looks quite similar from posing as the original registrant and hijacking</div>
<div>those same rights. </div>
