Yes. And when the owners want an update they may be locked in the process och showing that they are in fact the right owners. We have a customer, a large corporate group that everybody in my country knows about and I would even say most people would agree that the original owner of a /16 is now part of this group and ask no further questions but what documentation is there now from a merger in 2000?
Probably lots if they were large enough to get a /16. The flip side of this argument could be taken as: this holder's interest in maintaining their /16 (i.e. probably infrastructure which is very important to their business) is so small that in a period of 13 years, they couldn't be bothered spending a couple of hours updating the registry details for it. Leaving things for so long in a situation like this is likely to cause difficulties, but registrants have a duty of care to their infrastructure. I appreciate that this causes classification difficulties. Nick
