<div> You are correct. ARIN will process NRPM 8.2 transfer requests even if the </div>
<div> number resources of the combined organizations exceed what can be justified </div>
<div> under current ARIN policy.</div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div> ARIN works with the organization to encourage timely resolution with regard</div>
<div> to excess resources (via either voluntary return or subsequent transfer. </div>
<div> However, as has been noted on this list, ARIN cannot require either of these </div>
<div> actions, and the language in NRPM 8.2 in this regard solely serves to direct </div>
<div> ARIN to remind recipients of community expectation in this regard. If this </div>
<div> policy text were to be removed, then ARIN staff would no longer remind </div>
<div> NRPM 8.2 recipients with excess resources of the community expectations </div>
<div> in this regard.</div>
