OK, Andre, I give up.  Congratulations.  You've succeded in wearing
me down until I just give up.

That fact that you still clearly either can't or won't comprehend that
the "authority" you speak of has to come from somewhere convinces me that
you are now -deliberately- failing to understand.

Authority for Internet number resources begins at IANA, and then
devolves down to the Regional Internet Registries.  The fact that
you can go on attempting to define "sanctioned" without ever even
menioning any of these official bodies, or their authority, has
persuaded me that you actually do not -want- to understand this
simple but overridingly critical point.

I already asked, multiple times, and in multiple ways, "Sanctioned by who?
Sanctioned by what?"  But you continue to carry on as if this is just
an unimportant, annoying, and irrelevant detail.

When push comes to shove and someone asks "Who decides who the
authoritative holder of rights to a resource is?"  you can just
tell them "Judge Judy."
