Bryan - It is not required (but if they were presently under LRSA, then the transfer would indeed be faster since the organization and IP address block would not have to be revalidated…) > I'm thinking of referring both parties to an experienced broker as well. That certainly works - there is a list of several brokers available here <https://www.arin.net/resources/transfer_listing/facilitator_list.html> and many of them are very experienced in facilitating transfers under a wide variety of circumstances. > Does anyone have current process experience with this? Yes, I seem to have some experience with these processes… The legacy resource holder has to be validated by ARIN. This can be accomplished by simply making sure that the seller is a point-of-contact on the organization which hold rights to the IP address block (and is smart thing to do in any case, since they can then update the contacts, correct reverse DNS servers, etc.) You can have the source (i.e. the legacy resource holder) contact ARIN’s hostmaster (Hostmaster Arin <hostmas...@arin.net>), or have them call us Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM ET, Phone: +1.703.227.0660 and we’ll walk them through the organization recovery process. Once the legacy holder has control of the organization and IP address block, they can submit a transfer ticket at any time. ARIN will seek documentation behind the transfer, and will confirm that the recipient is valid. For a recipient in another region, we seek concurrence from the serving RIR that the recipient is valid. If you need any additional assistance, feel free to reach out to myself or the ARIN registration services helpdesk. Thanks, /John John Curran President and CEO ARIN p.s. Apologies for the delay in getting you this response - it has been a bit hectic these last 48 hours...
