[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2019-18: LIR/ISP Re-Assignment to Non-Connected Networks

[Fernando Frediani]

Hello John

Thank for your comment.
You are right that 2050 has been obsoleted by 7020, however 7020 is much 
shorter and doesn't contain much of the points and basis of 2050. That 
doesn't necessarily mean that 7020 invalidated everything that was not 
repeated 'ipsis literis' as it was in 2050. An example of that are the 
two statements below which keep being very actual and applied in 
practice in multiple RIRs still now a days.

We as a community of policy builders must base our discussions on 
something that makes sense to each Internet number registry system and 
those type of statements and principles (some of them never get old), 
although not repeated in 7020 are still very valid and actual to the 
present days.

Best regards
Fernando Frediani
