[arin-ppml] ARIN-prop-174 Policies Apply to All Resourcesin theRegistry

[Mike Burns]

John,

Care to answer this direct question vis a vis how ARIN policy was applied to the Nortel deal:

Did Nortel ever return the addresses to ARIN to be transferred specifically to Microsoft?

Regards,
Mike

Mike - 
 
    If requested resources from the free pool every 90 days, and if the
    pool had held out, then they may have achieved the same goal.

    Many parties seem attracted to the certainty from having a large 
    block of number resources to meet their future business needs;
    in addition to Microsoft, the following additional transfers have
    been transferred from bankruptcy estates:

       Borders Group, Inc., et al., (S.D.NY) 12/20/2011 1 /16
       Teknowledge Corporation (N.D.CA) 1/24/2012 1/16
       Northern Telecom Canada, Ltd. (Nortel II – Canada) 2/24/2012 2/16’s
       Bell-Northern Research (Nortel II – Canada) 2/29/2012 1/14 2/29/2012 1/14 4/10/2012 2/16’s

   You'd have to ask the recipients why the value receiving number 
   resources through transfer; ARIN simply processes the requests
   per policy.

Thanks!
