I have a customer who previously didn't have any IPv4 address space. They recently acquired a competitor that has a /24. Are there any special ARIN rules for this type of transfer? Any pointers, or 'gotchas'? Thanks John

From what I remember, ARIN will need to see some documentation of the acquisition, including a letter of agency/authorization from the company

I'm pretty sure ARIN has the transfer process documented on their website. that was acquired, on the original company's letterhead. jms

Without interpretation: Look on the ARIN Website.. Policies->Number Resource Policy Manual You want to read Section 8, specifically section 8.2 Owen On Apr 23, 2014, at 10:28 AM, John Jackson <jj.routerguy@gmail.com> wrote:

We just had to do something similar for space that we had acquired in an earlier incarnation of our company which was merged/renamed and it was a straightforward process. We just had to provide some documentation. I found the ARIN folk easy to work with on this. On Wed, Apr 23, 2014 at 1:40 PM, Owen DeLong <owen@delong.com> wrote:
