<div class="">It’s important to note that these references shared below are _not_ based on a common definition of “legacy number resource" –

<div class="">ARIN considers a legacy number resource to be one that’s held by the original registrant (or their legal successor, e.g. due to merger) and that was issued by one of ARIN’s predecessor registries (NSI/InterNIC, GSI, SRI, Jon) and thus transferred
to ARIN at the time of our formation. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">ARIN extends basic registry services w/o fee or contract to legacy resource holders, and offers them the opportunity if they wish to enter into an RSA with ARIN, becoming a member and receiving all the same services as every other customer, ability
to vote in elections etc. only with a special cap on their total registry maintenance fees (currently of $175/year, increasing $25/yr) that’s applied regardless of total size of IPv4 number resource holdings.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">This is done in recognition that these legacy resource holders were involved in the earliest days of the Internet. </div>

<div class="">I understand that in other region "legacy number resource” may have other meanings, and in fact may not even be related to the present day party with the rights to the address block. </div>
