>
>>
>
>> (2) Complete disclosure of the criteria by which "legitimate address

>
>> publishing the standard, ARIN will enable any party to independently
>
>> validate legitimacy of a purported address holder per the same criteria

>
>> security, and/or other operational matters.

>> (3) This proposal provides a foundation for subsequent policy, inasmuch

>>
>
>>
>
>> 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
