I think we are talking about number resources here not the individual numbers.<br class="">
Predecessor entities (pre ARIN) made commitments for the "Number Resources" that were allocated.<br class="">

Paul – </div>

<div>It might be helpful if you could provide that list of commitments, and the source of each?</div>

ARIN assumed those responsibilities and commitments and agreed not to alter them. ie. continue to route "all" number resources that had been previously assigned by Pre-ARIN entities.

<div>Wow. ARIN does not route your address blocks, and ARIN has no authority to command </div>
<div>that those who do route (or don’t route) your address blocks do so. ARIN only administers</div>
<div>the registry – ISPs decide what blocks to route based on their needs and business practices. </div>

ARIN keeps trying to stop honoring or threaten to stop honoring these agreed to commitments they made.<br class="">

<div>Again, a list of those commitments your believe you were promised might be quite helpful </div>
<div>to this discussion...</div>

<div>I’m fairly aware of the commitments that ARIN made at inception – it certainly includes having</div>
<div>an open and transparent process for the community to set number resource policy and then </div>
<div>operating the registry according to that policy.</div>
