[arin-ppml] Legacy number resources in the ARIN region (was: Re: Draft Policy ARIN-2021-8: Deprecation of the 'Autonomous System Originations' Field)

[Owen DeLong]

Interestingly, if your resources were issued by an organization that was not one of the current 5 RIRs at the time of issuance, RIPE will consider your resources eligible to be treated as “legacy without contract” when you transfer to RIPE.

This is, by far, the most liberal and most respectful of legacy holders policy of any of the 5 RIRs at this time.

A simple virtual machine within the EU is sufficient to create the nexus necessary to effect the transfer. Once the resources are transferred, it is no longer necessary to maintain the VM.
