web.com/netsol is disavowing ownership of 209.17.115.109.
NetRange: 209.17.112.0 - 209.17.127.255
CIDR: 209.17.112.0/20
NetName: WEB-COM-BLK3
NetHandle: NET-209-17-112-0-1
Parent: NET209 (NET-209-0-0-0-0)
What is the process to get this netblock reclaimed?

What makes you think they are disavowing ownership? Did they state that to you personally, or are you inferring that from other information?
-mel beckman
kinda looks like their routers still ask it to be routed to them:
19871 | 209.17.112.0 | NETWORK-SOLUTIONS-HOSTING - Network
Solutions, LLC,US
and stat.ripe.net:
<https://stat.ripe.net/%20209.17.112.0%2F20#tabId=routing>
the 2 /21's are 19871 originated, with the last /24 from 36476 (web.com's as)
i reported abuse to them that was originating directly from
209.17.115.109, they responded stating they have no control over the origin IP and that i should look up the IP in arin to get the owner.

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
Speaking individually, not with my ARIN board hat on:
If you’d like to report the address to abuse@arin.net, an ARIN postmaster can contact the web.com POC, and get an authoritative answer.
-Bill
it kind of sounds like they are confused and maybe asking them: "Are
you sure because the call is coming from inside your house" is in
order.
Show them the Whois info and that might change their mind. Asking to reclaim the space is silly.

This is just a typical "Drop the bomb, and soften the blow" technique.
Very interesting:

"Note ARIN has attempted to validate the data for this POC, but has received no response from the POC since 2013-11-06"
So if the owner does not care to respond to ARIN, what now?

You can't get their IP space revoked just because you got a stupid response from a confused/uneducated/overworked abuse handler. If you could, Yahoo and Hotmail would have been shut down ages ago.

POC validation has an extraordinarily low success rate (under 50% if
memory serves). Since this is a direct allocation and the space has
not been "revoked" (pulled for cause, e.g. non-payment), I can only
assume that the billing POC over snail mail is continuing to work as
anticipated.

Ahhhh, irony.
