I cannot this support policy language as it differentiates legacy 
resources, as someone who works for a legacy resource holder I think 
this is a really bad idea, the LRSA provides sufficient protections for 
legacy resource holders.  Anyway, it is the resource holder and the 
resource assignment together that has the legacy classification, once 
that binding is broken the classification is broken.

I have legal concerns about the disclosure to third parties this 
requires ARIN to make.  If the legal concerns can be dealt with, then I 
think this is probably a good idea, but I think there is lawyer fodder 
in there.

I cannot support this proposal as written.
