Hi Tom,
Thanks for adding more clarifications, brother :-)

Right, thanks!

Here, you seem to have kickly generalised an
optional act :-/

It's not what the documented [1] procedure states:

<quote1>
"*No notarization is necessary*. Note that the form
will be provided to you and is not available via our
website."

...it would be really useful to render this attestation
 mandatory, imho; as it appears to be optional [1].

Thanks for mentioning this valuable detail.

FWIW, the tool is available; but it's still [2] optional :'-(

<paste2>
"Officer Acknowledgment

The Officer Acknowledgment form , *when signed*
*and notarized*, *is required to be provided* to
ARIN *by a source organization* (current registrant)
 for a Transfer to Specified Recipients in the ARIN
Region (8.3) or an Inter-RIR Transfer (8.4). An
officer of the source organization needs to sign this
 form, have it notarized, and provide it to ARIN."

Would you like it to become mandatory?

Tom, could you, please, explain why?

...imho! the new resource holder *must* be an org
which is willing to demonstrate its *need* of INRs.

This is a new information, at least for me, and i
thank you for this useful clarification, brother.

...i see it, at least, become optionally validated.
As you explained; the interest in validating the
Officer Acknowledgement document, is to add
more confidence to the process, for the new
resource holder.
Why not also validate Officer Acknowledgement
documents?
If the new resource holder's right representative
could sign a notarized document, then the new
destination of those INRs, being transfered, might
be more safe, and the numbering community
would celebrate that happy end...imho :-/

Rather than supporting this attempt to prevent the
use of  Officer Attestation documents, i recommend
 that its validation becomes the norm & its non
validation an exception. This would add more
protection against INRs reservation, imho.

Thanks to let me know if i misunderstood something...

This is where, i have to call John again...or anyone,
with clue, from ARIN's Staff...for help :-)

Shalom,
--sb.
