Dear colleagues,

Here is also the full text of the proposal.

Regards.

Unique identifier: AFPUB-2011-v4-001-draft-01
Draft Policy Name: Transfer of IPv4 Addresses to Any Entity.
Author: Jackson Muthili | jacksonmuthi at gmail.com
Draft Policy Version:01
Submission Date: February 5th 2011

1.0 Summary of the Problem Being Addressed by this Policy Proposal

The ICANN/IANA address pool is finished. Soon, the RIR IPv4 address pool 
will also get depleted. It is possible that there will be continued 
demand for IPv4 addresses long after the AfriNIC pool is depleted. New 
ISPs (and those growing their existing networks) that do not want (for 
various reasons) to consider IPv6 will be looking for IPv4 addresses. 
This proposal attempts to propose a legitimate way for such ISPs to 
acquire IPv4 addresses from existing AfriNIC members (legacy or not) who 
wish to give away some addresses (with some consideration or otherwise).

2.0 The Proposal

2.1 Legacy members can transfer part or all of their IPv4 addresses to 
any company under the following criteria:

a) The company to which the addresses are transferred may or may not 
enter into agreement with AfriNIC.

b) The legacy member may or may not inform AfriNIC about the transaction.

c) AfriNIC will accord the third party all relevant access to services 
and benefits normally available to legacy members.

2.2 Paying AfriNIC members can transfer part or all of their IPv4 
addresses to any company under the following criteria:

a) The company to which the addresses are transferred must enter into 
agreement with AfriNIC.

b) The transfer and needs analysis cannot be based on any current 
policies. The only requirement for the transfer to happen should be the 
contract between the member and AfriNIC.

c) The relevant AfriNIC fees must apply to the third party.

d) AfriNIC will accord the third party all relevant access to services 
and benefits normally available to normal members.
