[arin-ppml] Definition of a legacy resource?

[Martin Hannigan]

I agree, as you probably saw with submission if prop-172.

I am not sure I understand your point related to an LRSA contracted
resource. Once a holder signs the LRSA, that legacy status is now
historical only. Technically speaking, they are not differentiated any
longer. It seems to make sense that the definition be clear in that
respect so using "contracted" as the delineation would appear to make
sense.

Best,

I.e., legacy allocations simply are allocated blocks that are not under an RSA or the equivalent in another RIR (doesn't matter whether they came from InterNIC, Postel, RIPE-NCC, etc..). The only tough issue here is whether you want to include resources under an LRSA as 'legacy' or not.
