[rpd] New Proposal - "IPv4 Resources transfer within the AFRINIC Region (AFPUB-2016-V4-003-DRAFT01)"

[Seun Ojedeji]

Hello McTim,

On item 2, There is a "4 weeks" discussion period requirement so in this
particular case the policy will not be eligible for consensus
considerations in Gaborone. However, we intend to place it on our agenda to
discuss it (to the extent that time permits) in Gaborone.

Regards
PDWG Co-Chairs

>> 2) Summary of How this Proposal Addresses the Problem
>>
>> The Policy solves the issue of an African organisation needing IPv4

>> AFRINIC can no longer satisfy the needs of such an organization.
>>
>>
>> 3) The Proposal
>>
>> This policy (IPv4 Soft Landing), applies to the management of address
>> space that will be available to AfriNIC after the current IPv4 pool is
>> depleted. The purpose of this document is to ensure that address space is
>> assigned and/or allocated in a manner that is acceptable to the AfriNIC
>> community especially during this time of IPv4 exhaustion.
>>
>>
>> 3.1) This policy takes effect as from phase 2 of the IPv4 soft landing
>> policy (AFPUB-2010-v4-005) or its successor.3.2) Both the source entity
>> and recipient must be AFRINIC members.
>>
>> 3.3) Conditions on the source of the transfer:
>>
>> 3.3.1 The source must be the current rightful holder of the IPv4 address
>> resources recognised by AFRINIC, and not be involved in any dispute as to
>> the status of those resources.
>>
>>
>>
>> 3.3.2 Source entities will not be eligible to receive any further IPv4
>> address allocations or assignments from AFRINIC for a period of 12 months
>> after a transfer approval.
>>
>>
>>
>> 3.3.3 Source entities must not have received a transfer, allocation, or
>> assignment of IPv4 number resources from AFRINIC for the 12 months prior to
>> the approval of transfer request. This restriction excludes Mergers and
>> Acquisitions transfers.
>>
>>
>> 3.2 Conditions on the recipient of the transfer:
>>
>> 3.2.1 AFRINIC has to approve the recipients need for the IPv4 number
>> resources. In order for an organisation to qualify for receiving a
>> transfer, it must first go through the process of justifying its IPv4
>> resource needs before AFRINIC. That is to say, the organisation must
>> justify before AFRINIC its initial/additional allocation/assignment usage,
>> as applicable, according to the policies in force.
>>
>>
>>
>> 3.2.2 The recipient must be a member of AFRINIC and must meet any  other
>> requirements defined by AFRINIC.
>>
>>
>>
>> 3.2.3 The Recipient will be subject to current AFRINIC policies and sign
>> the RSA for the resources being received.
>>
>>
>>
>> 3.2.4 Recipients must demonstrate the need for up to a 12-month supply of
