>From Prop-151:

The recipient entity must be a current ARIN account holder.

   - The recipient must sign an RSA with ARIN.

   - The recipient entity of the transferred resources will be subject
     to current ARIN policies. In particular, in any subsequent ARIN
     IPv4 address allocation request, the recipient will be required
     to account for the efficient utilization of all IPv4 address
     space held, including all transferred resources.

   - If the recipient has already received the equivalent of a /12
     of addresses in the prior 12 months, the recipient must
     demonstrate the need for additional resources in the exact amount
     which they can justify under current ARIN policies.



For some people who crave more regulation, I suppose fewer regulations is 
equal to abandoning all regulation.

Regards,
Mike
