[rpd] Some thoughts, and some actions required

[serge ilunga]

Hello,

IP-V4 Exhaustion is unavoidable and as a community, we should  handled this
in a way  that we continue to pursue the mission of our community: “Work
for the growth of Internet”.
This growth requires more nodes to be connected and than larger address
space. To cater for this need (large address space), IP V6 has been defined.
There are 2 obvious facts:

   - A transition period is needed to get this protocol widely adopted ( we
   are currently in)
   - Lack of available IPV4 creates the secondary market  as previously
   stated in this thread (this exists already).

According to what has been pointed out here, we as community shall do the
following:
1. Adopt a transfer policy to allow an official access to secondary market
I would  agree to adopt In Region Transfer Policy, and apply a sanction
(Withrawal of transferred ressources) of any form  Inter-RIR transfer that
would be done by a member.

rejected by LACNIC
<https://www.nro.net/wp-content/uploads/Numbers-SLA-3.0-clean.pdf>
This will allow African Region market to be regulated according to its
environment. The cost of goods on a market depends on the need. Our current
market needs are not the same with other Region and it won't be in our
benefit to open this door.
2. Strengthen allocation requirements: I fully support this.

Kind Regards.
