Hi About a year ago we (an enterprise registry) had a similar issue with a number of assignments. Following discussion with the hostmasters. We used the RIPE141.txt process as the "conditions" of the original assignment had or seemed to have changed and thus virtually audited the address space usage of the gaining and loosing party. For what it is worth we ensured both parties agreed. Also if I remember correctly when the inetnum and/or the netname was changed this had an effect on the rvse delegation assignment and so that had to be "re-agreed" with the hostmasters. kevin

Question:

can one company foo.com request its LIR to change the company's inetnum (netname, description, tech-c) so it appears to belong to another company bar.com? If yes: who should this request come from (the original requester? management?)? If no: what if foo.com is somehow related to bar.com (e.g. foo.com is a parent or daughter of bar.com)? Suppose bar.com has taken over the internet activities from foo.com?

Is there a document describing procedure to follow in such cases?
