There has been some feedback that this is not a complete methodology
to consider with regards to custody. Its likely that some of the
transactions that would fail a chain of custody review or were
fraudulently obtained should be revoked, but should be also placed on
the equivalent of an abandoned property list since the resources have
value and someone might actually be entitled to that value.

Does anyone have an opinion on the following rewrite:

8.4.6 Flawed Custody and Fraudulent Applications

ARIN will reclaim resources that fail chain of custody certifications
or are deemed to have been fraudulently obtained. Such a reclaimed
resource will be placed on an abandoned resources list which shall be
available to the public.

The logic here is that with enough information, someone will take the
effort to find a rightful "owner" if one exists and notify them of the
same. It is likely that there are a significant amount of resources
that were overlooked in a variety of transactions, bankruptcy, estates
of deceased persons, etc.

I would leave it up to ARIN to determine how long something should be
on a recovery list, probably aligned with some statute of limitations
on claims, etc.

Best,
