No, we are not.

In this we agree.

Now he knows. ;-)

Yes, and I will try test cases with all RIRs you believe allow that as
soon as such blocks come to my attention.

That depends on the origin of the block and how such a block came to
be allocated to the lessor. So different from your very self-serving
advice, my advice is for networks to perform very thorough due
diligence on the origin of the block.

But indeed this is not related to where the network leasing the block
operates or where the company is incorporated. All RIRs will respect
the original allocating authority judgment on the righteousness of the
lease.

ICANN canceling Puerto Rico will likely postpone that for a while, but
there are some online opportunities I could take to discuss this
subject with him.
