ASN Mergers, Acquisitions, Reorganizations and Relocations

Summary ASN Mergers, Acquisitions, Reorganizations and Relocations

Summary This proposal establishes the mechanism that allows updating ASN resource records in case of mergers, acquisitions, reorganizations and relocations

Because LACNIC's policies do not recognize the non-authorized sale or transfer of assigned or allocated resources, such transfers will be considered invalid

, intra- or inter-R

Nevertheless, LACNIC will process and register any ASN resource transfer that occurs as a result of a partial or complete merger, acquisition, business reorganization or relocation, regardless of whether the resources are held by an ISP or an end-user

. To initiate this change and proceed with the registration, legal documentation supporting the operation shall be provided. Such supporting legal documentation will be decided by LACNIC and/or the other RIRs, if applicabl

To initiate this change and proceed with the registration, legal documentation must be submitted which, at the discretion of LACNIC, supports the operation. Examples of such documentation include: • A copy of the legal document validating the transfer of assets. • A detailed inventory of all the assets used by the applicant for maintaining the resources in use. • A list of the applicant's clients using the resources

The need to maintain all the resources must also be justified, forcing the return of the surplus resources if applicable or, alternatively, the transfer of such surplus resources to third parties under the policies in force (3.). When resources are to be returned, LACNIC will determine the corresponding conditions and deadline

information The numbering of the proposed text within the corresponding section of the Policy Manual will be decided by LACNIC. Timetabl

cases, the non-existence of this policy might result in this issue being taken to the courts if LACNIC refuses to update the registry for any type of resources, and, based on the legislation currently in force in Uruguay, the courts might force LACNIC to modify the registry. We believe that having this policy would avoid this situation and allows maintaining control according to the wishes of the community. It would also avoid legal costs to both parties involved. Timetable

all cases are valid.

it is only for the Intra-RIR case.
