[challenges by legacy registrants] has been before judges and resolved numerous times.
We’ve actually had the matter before many judges, and have never been ordered to do anything other than operate the registry per the number resource policy as developed by this community – this has been the consistent outcome throughout both civil and bankruptcy proceedings.
Is there a public archive of these court proceedings? Or even a list of which cases have involved ARIN (or another RIR)?
John - Not to my knowledge for ARIN - we are routinely involved in various civil, criminal, bankruptcy and probate matters as necessary to protect the rights of the resource holders (in cases where they are being hijacked or otherwise converted by parties not affiliated with the registrant) and the rights of the ARIN community (in cases where parties attempt to dispose of number resources contrary to community-developed policy.) We do not publish an index of cases, but those cases that are public matters are available in appropriate court record searches.
