<div class=""> I fully agree, but you might want to compare notes with David, as he seems to have</div>
<div class=""> created rights to address blocks listed within routing tables, rather than address </div>
<div class=""> holders having rights to address block entries in the Internet Numbers Registry…</div>

</div>
<div>For avoidance of doubt about the rights referenced above, both the RSA and LRSA </div>
<div>make clear that address holders have the following rights - </div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>"ARIN shall (i) provide the Services to Holder in accordance with the Service Terms and (ii) grant to Holder the following specified rights:<br class="">
(1) The exclusive right to be the registrant of the Included Number Resources within the ARIN database; <br class="">
(2) The right to use the Included Number Resources within the ARIN database; and<br class="">
(3) The right to transfer the registration of the Included Number Resources pursuant to the Policies.”</div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>There’s no doubt that ARIN can provide to these rights to the address holder, but it’s worth </div>
<div>noting that the specified 'right to use’ is clearly within respect to ARIN database, not any</div>
<div>right that is predicated upon (or directly applicable to) the routing tables of ISPs globally.</div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>The Internet number registry system is joint activity that provides benefits for those who </div>
<div>voluntarily participate therein - you’re not obligated in the least to make use of it, you can</div>
<div>include any IP address block you want in your routing tables, but don’t be surprised if others</div>
<div>expect you to participate in the system. A nice slide deck that summarizes this voluntary</div>
<div>nature is here: <a href="http://www.ptc.org/ptc14/images/papers/upload/Presentation_TS9_ConradDavid.pdf" class="">http://www.ptc.org/ptc14/images/papers/upload/Presentation_TS9_ConradDavid.pdf</a></div>
