Randy and all, Yes, give up rights. But that doesn't preclude use necessarly now does it? Of course not. So a scheme for reclaiming that PI space seems to be in order that doesn't require legal fees. A daunting task indeed. Randy Bush wrote:
Remember, the only thing that a PI address space holder needs to do is sign a contract with the RIPE NCC saying "I am the holder of this PI space", so it should not cause any fuss.
perhaps you have not looked at arin's legacy holder agreement. check out section nine, in particular. essentially it says you give up the rights.
