Folks -
There is an objection by Dean Anderson to the accuracy of
statements posted to the IETF list by Stephen Sprunk on
October 3 regarding ARIN's obligations to legacy IP address
holders.
While ARIN hasn't obtained a formal legal opinion on ARIN's
obligations to legacy IP assignments, ARIN's counsel responded
to questions about ARIN's potential obligations in providing
registration services to legacy IP space holders at the the last
ARIN member meeting. It is the analysis of these comments in
Stephen Sprunk's posting that is challenged by Dean Anderson.
The full Transcript of the legacy panel is at
http://www.arin.net/meetings/minutes/ARIN_XIX/ppm1_transcript.html#anchor_13
Dean Anderson has a produced an analysis of the statements at
http://www.av8.net/IETF-watch/People/StephenSprunk/ARIN-legal-comments.html
It is in ARIN's interest to insure informed discussion of the
topic, and while I disagree with Dean's assessment, I agreed
to send this message to the list so that the community can
understand that there is a variety of interpretations of the
statements that were made.
