By definition, that is true as far as the transfer of the registration.

However, I believe at this point you and John are talking about two different things.

You are talking about the transfer of the use of the numbers as IP addresses routed on the internet.

John is talking about the transfer of the registration of the addresses within the RIR system.

Yes, the two can happen independently of one another.

You are arguing (if I understand correctly) that when the transfer of usage occurs without the transfer of registration, that is a bad thing and you believe that there should be no limits on the transfer of registration in order to prevent this dichotomy from developing.

I don’t happen to agree with your position. As noted in earlier threads, transfers of the use of number resources which occur contrary to registry party are unable to be registered.
