Hi John,

Didn't seek and didn't receive. I'm told the judge let stand his
ruling from the preliminary order that Nortel could sell to anyone
they wanted to. Added that the court had no objection to a buyer who
chose to enter a contract with ARIN.

I think we probably agree about what most of the relevant case law is
even if we disagree about what it means. Things like Nortel/Microsoft
and Kremen. I don't suppose ARIN would be so kind as to post the
documents from the relevant case law in a web archive somewhere so
that anyone here can read it for themselves and draw their own
conclusions?

Regards,
Bill Herrin
