In any case, legacy resource holders who don’t care for these advanced services (whose development and maintenance is paid for by the ARIN community) can simply continue to maintain their legacy resources in the ARIN registry. They do not have to do anything, as ARIN is continuing to provide basic registration services to the thousands of non-contracted legacy resource holders (including online updates to your resources, reverse DNS services, etc.) without fee or contract.
Not been my experience.
Gary - We do have some cases where folks have difficulty demonstrating that the resources were issued to them (and/or have disputes between parties over who is the actual rights holder), but otherwise you should be able to create an ARIN Online account and administer ARIN services for the address block without any agreement - see https://www.arin.net/resources/guide/legacy/services/ <https://www.arin.net/resources/guide/legacy/services/> for details. The intent is that legacy resource holders receive the same registry services (w/o fee or contract) as they did before ARIN’s inception. If you’ve got a situation where you believe that has not been the case, reach out to our Registration Services Helpdesk <https://www.arin.net/resources/guide/helpdesk/ <https://www.arin.net/resources/guide/helpdesk/>>, and if that fails, reach out to me and provide a reference to the appropriate ARIN ticket(s) so that I can review.
