Yeah... It just seems like holding an asset in trust for a population and selling that asset without consulting that population (or at least consulting the organizations the population commonly understands to represent them) is very fishy business.
This is the major problem, lack of community involvement. It's a world wide resource, but it's use has been hamstrung by the people in charge for years.
Having read their explanation, I think the folks involved had good reasons and the best intentions but this stinks like fraud to me. Worse, it looks like ARIN was complicit in the fraud -- encouraging and then supporting the folks involved as they established a fiefdom of their own rather than integrating with the organizations that existed. The "appearance of impropriety" is then magnified by ARIN deeming the matter a private transaction between it and the alleged registrants to which the pubic is not entitled to a detailed accounting.
You know what they say about good intentions. https://imgflip.com/i/362r0m -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice http://bryanfields.net
