illegitimate and marked as such, then what is current ARIN
practice - do you attempt to contact any squatter, or do
you reclaim and reassign the resource, or do you simply do nothing?

But that assumes you can contact them, that the original entity
exists.  What if it does not?  Or what if you contact them and
they don't know who you are and what your talking about and
can't answer your questions?
