[rpd] AFRINIC Board ratifies Policy Proposal AFPUB-2016-V4-003-DRAFT03: IPv4 Resources transfer within the AFRINIC Region

[Mike Burns]

Hello,

FYI, every other RIR allows partial block sales down to the minimum transfer size.
This might mean a negative impact due to route de-aggregation, but it has a positive impact on the supply of addresses for the market, as address-holders can sell small sections of their holdings that might be unused, without the need for emptying the entire block.

Regards,
Mike

All,

As we implement the "IPv4 Resources transfer within the AFRINIC Region" policy - a quick clarification is sought from authors (and
community) on whether a transfer can be partial - or must be the entire block as allocated/assigned.

For example, if a LIR is allocated a /17, can the LIR opt to transfer a /22 out of the /17?

This is not clearly indicated in the proposal:

Regards,
Ernest.
