[AfriNIC-rpd] Revised? - AFPUB-2010-v4-002 IPv4 Softlanding Policy Proposal - Re: Conclusion of 15-day Last Call Period

[McTim]

Douglas,

I suggest that you make the Soft Landing proposal into several
"bite-sized" proposals.  I think that most of the individual bits and
pieces would have reached consensus by now if it was less complex.

For example, the "10% rule" seems to have a lot of support amongst
community members, so that could be a separate policy proposal in
itself.

BTW a related topic is the new Global Policy proposal that was
proposed recently in the ARIN region.  I'm not formally introducing it
in the AfriNIC region, just giving a heads up.  The text is below:
------------------------------------

Policy Proposal 119: Globally Coordinated Transfer Policy

Proposal Originator: Chris Grundemann, Martin Hannigan, Jason Schiller

Proposal Version: 2.0

Date: 27 October 2010

Proposal type: new

Policy term: permanent

Policy statement: Any RIR's resource registrant may transfer IPv4
addresses to the resource registrant of another RIR as long as the two
RIRs agree and exercise Internet stewardship and the values expressed
in RFC2050.

Rationale: Since individual RIRs now allow transfers, it makes sense
to be able to transfer between regions as well.

Timetable for implementation: upon ratification of all five RIRs

Timetable for de-implementation: upon change to this policy text in any RIR
---------------------------------

If we pass the 10% rule, that doesn't mean we can't pass this one as
well.  The above proposal would just mean that the other RIRs could do
inter RIR transfers, but AfriNIC IP blocks couldn't be transferred
because of the 10% rule.

-- 
Cheers,

McTim
