[AfriNIC-rpd] RE:AFPUB-2011-v4-003-draft-02 - Limited Out of Region Allocation of IPv4 Resources - of Legacy Space

[Walubengo J]

@Mark,

M$ bought the legacy space with a lot of $$$.  What I liked is that ARIN quickly got M$ to subsequently put this space under their Service Contracts.  I think they fast-fowarded a Policy around this (anyone with specific/actual url on this?)

Am just wondering maybe AfriNIC should discuss a similar policy since we do have quite some legacy space particular in SA which according to contemporary understanding AfriNIC cannot control its "departure"/"exchange".

walu.

Oh? - why do you want to wait until they are completely out rather than
just in their final /8 - which restricts LIR's to a single /22 (or
something similar)? Most Soft landing policies have something like that.

...except ARIN who does not have a soft landing policy (just lots of
historical legacy space to re-sell....)

I'd be happy allowing anyone that has a need to have these addresses -
at a price of course!

(What did Microsoft recently pay per IPv4 address?)
