[ppml] Fw: Can a Customer take their IP's with them? (Court says yes!)

[Owen DeLong]

As has been repeatedly pointed out, ARIN cannot enforce anything, their 
power
is limited only to the refusal to issue new resources.  Once a resource is
allocated it is largely outside of ARIN control and depends almost entirely
on community consensus and self-governance.  I'm not particularly happy 
about
this state of affairs, but, there is much grief that comes with giving ARIN
more direct power, including U.S. constitutional issues.

It would be good if someone could verify the netblock in question.  I 
haven't
read the exact TRO, but, I suspect that NAC could publish an announcement
about the status of the block, possibly including a request that providers
"do the right thing in assisting NAC in complying with the TRO until such
time as a final ruling is made by the court" without violating the terms
of the TRO.

An alternative strategy would be for NAC to enumerate the prefix(es) 
involved
in comments filed in the proceeding.  Since those would then be part of the
public record, NAC or anyone else could publish them.  Heck, has anyone
looked through the entire public record of the current proceeding to verify
that the prefix(es) are not enumerated therein?
