It seems safe to assume that there have historically been some instances in<br class="">
which ARIN memberships have been terminated, and any associated assigned<br class="">
number resources reclaimed, if and when a given member has simply failed<br class="">

Yes - This does occur with ARIN-region number resources, although we provide </div>
<div>significant opportunity for parties to cure such situations – </div>

<div class="">My questions however have to do with situations<br class="">
where policy violations other than the non-payment of fees are involved.<br class="">
Specifically, I would like to know if any of you can recall past instances<br class="">
where number resources have been reclaimed, by ARIN, for any of the following<br class="">
reasons:<br class="">
<br class="">
*) Usage of the assigned number resources was no longer consistant with<br class="">
the original justification submitted to ARIN.<br class="">

<div>To my knowledge this has only occurred in the ARIN registry when the original request to </div>
<div>ARIN was actually fraudulent in nature (as opposed to bona fide requests at the time but </div>
<div>since overtaken by events.) </div>

<div>Such has not to my knowledge (and quite unlikely to occur, as <i class="">"ARIN registered resources </i><i class="">may </i><i class="">be </i><i class="">used </i></div>
<div><i class="">outside the ARIN service region.”</i><<a href="https://www.arin.net/participate/policy/nrpm/#9-out-of-region-use" class="">https://www.arin.net/participate/policy/nrpm/#9-out-of-region-use</a>></div>

<div>Yes, revocations can occur for violations of the ARIN’s number resource policy manual (NRPM)) for any </div>
<div>resource in the ARIN registry) and/or violations of one’s registration services agreement, if applicable.</div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>(I would note in particular that NRPM section 12 "Resource Review” requires cooperation with any request </div>
<div>from ARIN for reasonable related documentation, and failure to comply with policy can result in revocation.</div>
