Hi David,

For clarity's sake, here's the text, emphasis mine:

https://www.arin.net/policy/nrpm.html#eight2

"ARIN will proceed with processing transfer requests even if the
number resources of the combined organizations EXCEED WHAT CAN BE
JUSTIFIED UNDER CURRENT ARIN POLICY. IN THAT EVENT, ARIN will work
with the resource holder(s) to transfer the extra number resources to
other organization(s) or accept a voluntary return of the extra number
resources to ARIN."

I don't see an "or let you keep the extra number resources' in there.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
