Randy - You may believe that IP addresses are assets; feel free to do so. ARIN's position follows RFC 2008 and RFC 2050 and will continue to do so until the community directs otherwise. For the legal discussion, see: <http://www.chtlj.org/sites/default/files/media/articles/v024/v024.i2.Ryan.pdf>
people will transfer assets. get over it.
ARIN recognizes transfers of IP address blocks to designated recipients under the transfer policy which was extensively discussed by this community and adopted in June of last year: <https://www.arin.net/policy/nrpm.html#eight3> Other regional registries have also adopted transfer policies. That is not the question. The question discussed is the practice of performing resource review as a result of fraudulent applications. This is clearly intended by the community in NRPM section 12 <https://www.arin.net/policy/nrpm.html#twelve> so ARIN will do its best to enforce the policy as adopted. /John John Curran President and CEO ARIN
