The obligation of legacy holders to ARIN (if any exists) and the =
obligation of ARIN to
legacy holders (again, if any exists) is definitely an open question.
One which, so far, ARIN has tried to be very gentle about, providing =
services to
legacy holders without asking much (anything) in return.
The Legacy RSA is a particularly generous version of the RSA which is
intended to preserve most of the perceived benefits legacy holders =
currently
receive while bringing their resources clearly under ARIN stewardship
and imposing a few of the obligations which exist for all other resource
holding members of the community.
