Okay, speaking now with my ARIN board-of-directors hat on:

Chris is correct.  I can authoritatively say that this is not  
happening under ARIN's auspices.  About a year ago, Ray Plzak  
contracted with Randy for a specific experiment, and the experiment  
was conducted, and came to conclusion.  About nine months ago, the  
results of the experiment were presented to the board, and the board  
and counsel issued a directive to Ray that any and all contracts with  
Randy were to be terminated immediately, and no new ones initiated.   
Ever.

Staff is now aware that the resource is still allocated, and has  
indicated that they will remedy the situation promptly in order to  
stem misuse.

Randy has never been authorized to make any public statements or take  
any actions beyond the performance of the single concluded experiment,  
on behalf of ARIN.  The fact that the block was not reclaimed promptly  
at the conclusion of the experiment was an oversight, which is now  
being rectified.

                                 -Bill
