Policy Proposal Name: Section 8.2 Reorganizations
Proposal Originator: John Springer

Date: 23 April 2013

Problem Statement:

There is no longer a reference to corporate reorganizations in the policy. ARIN often sees corporate reorganizations as the basis for transfer.

Corporate reorganizations were part of the previous version of 8.2 policy as follows:

“ARIN will consider requests for the transfer of number resources 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 number resource.”

Current policy reads: “ARIN will consider requests for the transfer of number resources in the case of mergers and acquisitions under the following conditions: …”

Corporate reorganizations are currently being allowed under the following conditions: A parent organization can transfer resources to a child organization or vice versa as long as the child is a 100% wholly owned subsidiary. Various documentary requirements apply.

Policy statement:

“ARIN will consider requests for the transfer of number resources in the case of mergers, acquisitions and corporate reorganizations under the following conditions: …”

Timetable for implementation: Immediately
