[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2014-9: Resolve Conflict Between RSA and 8.2 Utilization Requirements

[xiaofan yang]

Hi Milton,

thanks for your inspiring reply.  Now i know that we have the "ownership"
of those IPs.    as you are one of the AC, i take your reply seriously and
also this is good news for the community, especially for those legacy
holders, if the holder of ARIN non-legacy IPs can have the "ownership'
 then the holder of legacy IPs definitely has the ownership  on their IPs
 no matter whether they sign the RSA , LRSA or not.

Hope ARIN will not impose unpredictable "restrictions" when legacy or
non-legacy holder begins its transfer request. Moreover,  when ARIN reject
a transfer , hope ARIN will not use the "confidential terms" as an excuse
for not reply communities' questions in ppml.   or ARIN will reply with
bunch of info mean nothing.
Niki
