Bill -

     RFC 2050 is the document which  provides the registry system framework.  Jon Postel is an author of same, as well 
as a founder of ARIN.

    We've adhered to these principles from RFC 2050 in address management without exception, and even in policy 
development today.

    When you speak of the policies of
old allocations, please be specific.  If they predated Jon, that would indeed be quite interesting.
