Actually, I’d love to hear an official statement from ARIN about the state of this transfer - it’s legitimacy, ARINs involvement with it, who approved of the transfer (if any) etc.
That would be an interesting read.
Was ARIN not involved? If not, why not? 44/8 isn’t like a normal assignment. It’s a legacy assignment likely with stipulations from when it was originally assigned to the HAM group(s).
So my understanding based on what Job has said in this thread, without looking myself, is that it seems as though 44/8 was brought under an ARIN RSA either as part of this deal or as a pre-requisite to this deal happening. Hence it's no longer "legacy" space that isn't covered by an RIR RSA but is instead now covered by an ARIN RSA. This is interesting because amateur radio is a global (and beyond - the folks on the ISS participate!) pursuit, one which is officially sanctioned by almost every national government in the world, and which has international involvement overseen by the ITU ( https://life.itu.int/radioclub/ars.htm). A /8 is an exceptionally large IPv4 block, and governance thereof, when held in trust for the benefit of a greater community, should always be transparent. At the very least, we must admit that there was a tremendous failure of transparency here. - Matt (K1RIN)
