[arin-ppml] ARIN-prop-174 Policies Apply to All Resources in the Registry

[Lee Dilkie]

John,

This proposal simply makes the bold claim that legacy address holders
are now completely subject to ARIN policy.

You don't have that right, it was not assigned to you when ARIN was
created. ARIN was given the responsibility of maintaining the existing
records, but this goes beyond that.

Yet this proposed policy makes a unilateral and arbitrary assertion of authority over resources held by people over which ARIN has no contractual or other legal authority. You may as well assert that ARIN has authority over my house, ISP routing policies, website content,  whatever.
