I agree, however, the organization that the warrant needs to be served too
and the people within the organization it needs to be served too, like the
lawyers, needs to be abundantly clear from the registry information. Law
enforcement, or anyone else for that matter, shouldn't have to waste the
judges and the courts time getting warrants reissued multiple times because
the registry says one organization controls the addresses but the addresses
were (re)allocated to some other organization who is the one that knows the
real user and needs to be named in the warrant for it to be valid. Or that
the addresses are used in a different jurisdiction and a different court
needs to issue the warrant for it to be valid.

The registry shouldn't be a substitute for getting warrants. However, the
registry still plays an important role in the process of a court properly
issuing a valid warrant.

Therefore all allocations or reallocations need to be clear in the
registry. I believe assignments should only be recorded in the registry if
they are made directly from the RIR or if requested by the entity receiving
the assignment. Also, an optional Legal POC might be useful to direct legal
service to the proper place in an orginization.

So I don't support the policy as writen, but it raises some important
issues that could use some work.

Thanks.
