[arin-ppml] Deceased Companies?

[Fernando Frediani]

Thank you very much for the clarification John.

It is good to know that there has been a policy in the past for that to 
happen and that BoT has understood that although ARIN could be successor 
of  SRI/GSI/NSI-InterNIC it would not make sense in the current or even 
past context at that point in time these resources to be retained by ARIN.

One point to highlight is that the communication mentions "blocks that 
have been voluntarily returned to ARIN" which could be understood as 
basically any legacy blocks had necessarily to be returned to ARIN and 
that IANA agrees on that or if a given legacy resource holder wishes to 
return it directly to IANA would it be forbidden and directed by IANA to 
do to ARIN ?
