As for not being official "Legacy" address

ARIN is problematic for many legacy address holders because it is not
clear wether the rights one gets and gives up is worth it. Plus it
can incur paying enormous annual fees (in the tens of thousands of
dollars range) to ARIN.
Actually, ARIN has no jurisdiction over the legacy space.
The NSF has ruled
that this (Postel) space is property of the legacy holders.
*ARDC owns 44/8. *
ARIN is required to manage the minimum of the database entries needed to make
this space work at no cost to.
Signing a legacy RSA would be a bad idea as ARDC would give up ownership of
44/8 which is worth in excess of $100M USD!
We need to stay away from ARIN as much as we can, ie do everything via rwhois
and DNS via AMPRnet servers, not ARIN. I'd even go so far to say that ARDC is
basically it's own RIR not bound by *ANY *ARIN policy.
