The policy is targeting humans, but the statement above applies equally to humans or organizations in the event an organization ceases.

For example, Exodus went bankrupt and was subsumed into Cable and Wireless… Cable and Wireless became the successor and took over Exodus’ relationship with ARIN, paid their resource fees and operation of their network.

Yes, that was the premise we started with, the question was “what happens when the person dies”.

So yes, all of my answers were possible outcomes after the person dies.

Either in their will or through other probate process(es).
