Unfortunately, the LRSA contains another price which I personally consider too high: voluntary termination revokes the IP addresses instead of restoring the pre-contract status quo. Without that balancing check to the contract, I think a steady creep in what ARIN requires of the signatory is inevitable... and the affirmative actions ARIN can require the registrant to perform in order to maintain the contract are nearly unlimited.
Bill - Voluntary termination because ARIN is in breach results in pre-contract status quo, otherwise you are correct. Changing this would be a useful item to discuss at the Public Policy & Members meeting in one of the open mike sessions, or to submit to the suggestion process for discussion on the arin-consult mailing list <https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp> The last round of improvements to the LRSA (version 2.0) added several circumstances that result in pre-contract status quo, and additional ones could be added if the community wants such and the Board concurs. /John John Curran President and CEO ARIN
