A legacy resource is an IPv4 address or Autonomous System Number that (a) was issued to an entity (other than a Regional Internet Registry) or individual (the “original legacy holder”) prior to ARIN's inception on Dec 22, 1997 either by an organization authorized by the United States to perform the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (“IANA”) functions or an Internet Registry, and (b) has not been returned to a Regional Internet Registry under a binding written agreement between the original legacy holder (or its legal successor or assign) and the RIR for subsequent allocationand assignment in accordance with such RIR’s number resource policies and membership (or service) agreements.

Marc -

  The existing NRPM does not qualify the nature of transactions such as
  you propose in (b), i.e. "a binding written agreement", and yet we have
  had numerous resources returned over the years through requests of
  various forms (including email, in-person, fax, telephone and online),
  so your proposed definition has potential creates significant uncertainty
  for past resource transactions already completed.

  I would therefore recommend that if section b is included, it simpler to
  go with a basic definition which states "and (b) for which the entity is
  still the registered address holder."

Thanks!
