Check their WWW page: http://www.arin.net/transfer.html Transfer Requirements ARIN will consider requests for the transfer of IP space only upon receipt of evidence that the new entity has acquired the assets which had, as of the date of the acquisition or proposed reorganization, justified the current entity’s use of the IP space. Examples of assets that justify use of IP space include, but are not limited to: 1) existing customer base that utilizes some or all of the IP space, 2) qualified hardware inventory, and 3) specific software requirements.

Greetings all,

Aplogies if this has already been covered (I couldnt find it :) )

Does any one know what ARIN's policy is on ISP acquisition ?? Is there one ?? In other words, ISP A buys ISP B. ISP B has some pre-ARIN allocated IP space (swamps from Internic, etc etc). When ISP A goes to modify these network objects in the ARIN DB, is there going to be a problem ?? Will ARIN say they have to be returned ??

Feel free to contact me off list if you feel this is not relevant to said list.

TIA
