I have a government agency client with a number of /24s that they acquired back in the 1990s when they operated as an ISP for other agencies. They are interested in renting or selling these addresses. Are there any existing ARIN or other legal restrictions against government organizations doing this?
Hi Mel, The agency may follow the same "specified transfer" process as everyone else to sell the addresses. See ARIN NRPM section 8.5. There's probably a legal mess around a government entity renting IP addresses. If the entity is registered as an end user (instead of as an ISP) then such rentals might also be considered fraudulent.
