For those who've not dug deep, Scott was the author of PP105 which
became draft 2010-6. This was the draft policy which first introduced
the language to the NRPM. He is thus uniquely well qualified to
explain its intent.

Hi Scott,

In my case the question is moot. I'd advise my client to update POCs
at ARIN and place a carefully crafted contract effecting transfer of
control into a locked safe. I can't think of a single sane reason I'd
advise them to consider renumbering, changing BGP advertisements,
dealing with IP brokers, evaluating the ARIN RSA contract, etc. in the
midst of an already complicated re-organization.

The policies structured as they are, I'd have to be out of my mind to
actually tell ARIN the addresses had been transferred to a new
organization.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
