[arin-ppml] ARIN-prop-174 Policies Apply to All Resources in theRegistry (William Herrin)

[sandrabrown at ipv4marketgroup.com]

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?

IPv4 Friends, 
The entire Nortel motion and the bankruptcy court ruling may be found
at:

http://www.scribd.com/doc/51547565/Nortel-s-Chapter-11-Motion-for-the-Sale-of-Internet-Numbers

In his ruling, the Honorable Kevin Gross, in point L, says that "The
Internet Numbers are property of the Seller's
bankruptcy estate. No consents or approvals are required for the Seller
to enter into the Agreement, to transfer the Internet
Numbers to the Purchaser, or to consummate the Transaction other than
entry of this Order and as set forth in the Agreement...."
I believe Mr Gross does not implicitly or explicitly refer to the
internet community, support for internet socialism, agreement that an
LRSA is needed, or any other such pre-steps anywhere in his decision but
please read the entire document for yourself and draw your own
conclusions, and do not be distracted by opinions other than those of
your own legal counsel.
