Would it be correct to summarize the ARIN position as "It's murkier than Cerner makes it out to be, and some lawyers are gonna get stinking filthy rich litigating this one"?
It's pretty simple: you can write a contract to transfer IP addresses in accordance with policy, and we are now seeing most parties come to us in advance either to prequalify or make the sale conditional on approval.
No, Valdis, the ARIN position is "if we wanted Curran to have a sense of humor, we'd have issued him one". :-) Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
