So, if by “the right to use them”, one is referring to being the one listed in the ARIN database for the address space and/or use ARIN services applicable
to those address blocks, then that is indeed a contractual right, but it doesn’t get transferred or assigned except as the community policy states. For
example, redelegation by ISPs is clearly covered by ARIN policy, so we recognize such and even provide services specifically to support same.
I wish to retract what I wrote earlier : I totally acknowledge and support ARIN's phrasing, and it was absolutely not meant as a challenge.
ARIN does not lease me the IP block I thought I "bought" on the transfer market.
What I "bought" is, by the result of a complex by-product iterations of ARIN acknowledgement that although I neither own or rent the apartment, my name is on it, I somehow expect that the community will somehow consider that my org is the one who should announce the prefix allocated / assigned to said org, and not someone else.
Is this appropriate langage ?
I am going to move the thread of transparency to arin-ppml, where it belongs.
