[AfriNIC-rpd] Transfer of IPv4 Addresses to Any Entity - AFPUB-2011-v4-001-draft-01

[Walubengo J]

thnx SM for the heads-up.

I have just looked at this policy and have just one issue regarding how it provides for Legacy IP resource holders to transfer their IPv4 resources to any entity.

The policy is silent on if/how the Legacy holders will follow the general AfriNIC policies for IP resources; namely conservation, aggregation and (unique) registration of the IP addresses. If this is not taken care of, we shall have/legitimize the following scenario Nortel Sells IP address to M$ now playing out the US @

Is this good for Africa?

Hello,

There is currently a proposal under discussion in the AfriNIC service region about "Transfer of IPv4 Addresses to Any Entity".  The current draft is AFPUB-2011-v4-001-draft-01.  A proposal can only become a policy if it has the consensus of the Policy Development Working Group and it has been approved by the AfriNIC Board of Directors.

The Interim co-chairs of the AfriNIC Policy Development Working Group never made any determination about whether there is consensus on AFPUB-2011-v4-001-draft-01 or made any recommendation on this proposal to the AfriNIC Board of Directors.

Regards,
S. Moonesamy
Interim co-chair, AfriNIC Policy Development Working Group
