Hey John, I understand that, however my understanding is that the
establishment of an ARIN RSA is required prior to the transfer of a block
or a portion or a block via ARIN (such as the transfer of 44.192/10). Thus,
this would mean that the 44/8 block is now governed by an (well, more than
one, now that it's split) ARIN RSA (or LRSA) whereas it was not before.  Is
that not correct?

Thanks!
