Yes, I agree and think that has always been the case, and that was the 
case through each of the previous transitions of the registry.

However, ARIN policy being mostly mute on the subject has caused many 
people over the years to be mislead or confused into believing the contrary.

Yes, that is the reason we need policy on the subject.

The reason I focused on Legacy Resources not under contract is that, 
anyone who has brought Legacy Resources under an RSA or LRSA has 
explicitly agreed that their resources are covered by ARIN policy and 
should not confused about the issue.
