[arin-ppml] FYI -- RIPE-605 Services to Legacy InternetResourceHolders

[Steven Ryerse]

The problem with your California analogy of course is that even though the car (i.e. Legacy Block) might have been titled in California originally (i.e. NSF), the sales transaction might have happened in another state or even another country (i.e. private transaction completely outside ARIN) and California can't say after the fact that they won't recognize the sale of the car as the car was sold legally and therefore California can't somehow void or disavow the transaction.  

Maybe the NSF or congress could void those Legacy transactions but ARIN doesn't have the legal authority to void them or declare them somehow to be invalid.  

I think that the new RIPE policy is acknowledging this reality and I think ARIN adopting the same identical policy makes sense because it would allow the coming together of Legacy holders and ARIN allocations holders which I think is in everyone's interest.

Note that I would expect ARIN to be able to request and receive proof of a completed transaction before they update their database with the new information.

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.
