Also correct - ARIN runs the Specified Transfer Listing Service (STLS) =
so
that parties that wish to be vetted by ARIN may do so in advance, and =

optionally be listed as =E2=80=9Cinterested in offers=E2=80=9D from =

Also, potential recipients may have their IP address need verified in =
advance,
therefore making them a qualified recipient in the ARIN region. It=E2=80=99=
s completely
optional, but available for those who wish to validate their half of a =
transfer
(whether as a source or recipient) in advance.=20

I=E2=80=99m glad you like the STLS service; it does work well for =
straightforward=20
transfers among parties. There are some cases (complex corporate=20
changes, long absent or incorrect registration information, etc.) where
parties may find the support and guidance of one of the brokers helpful;
it doesn=E2=80=99t matter to ARIN either way nor does it change the =
criteria that
we apply - all transfers follow the same policy.
Thanks!
