If indeed the recipient only had to sign an LRSA this would

The press release explicitly stated that "The transfer of IP

Clarity dictated that the press release simply state "the transfer

The audience for press releases is, as the name implies, the press.
Such a specific reference is unnecessary for the few members of the
press who would understand it and would only sow confusion, i.e. <i>reduce
</i>clarity, for those who wouldn't.<br>

Numbers cannot be sold, so that is irrelevant--if it's even what the

So, you are openly accusing ARIN's President and CEO of issuing a
fraudulent press release?<br>
