>>
>
>> Rationale
>
>>
>
>> This proposal introduces policy that specifies how ARIN will go about
>
>> determining who a "legitimate" address holder is.  It is similar to
>
>> current procedure with 13.x.2 and 13.x.3, which specify the use of IANA
>
>> and RIR records.  It expands on the current procedures with 13.x.4,
>
>> allowing organizations to provide legal documentation of organizational
>
>> changes and/or the transfer of custody of a legacy address block.
>
>>
>
>> Timetable for implementation:  Immediately
