It seems to be ARIN attempting to unilaterally change the terms of a contract or assert control simply because a transfer of existing rights has taken place through a merger or acquisition. If a company acquires another company it should acquire the rights that the existing company has. I see no justification for ARIN seizing upon the transfer as an excuse to change those rights.

  Could you elaborate why you feel that the draft policy would result in "ARIN 
  attempting to unilaterally change the terms of a contract or assert control"
  during a transfer?  This might be helpful to others considering this draft 
  policy and its implications.

Thanks!
