Dear Ernest,
Thanks for your prompt comment :-)
You are right ! then thanks, i see that i failed to read it correctly :'-(

...what you say here could have a huge consequence, to my understanding :-/
I mean that, is it the CPM which supersides the RSA ?
...or, on which of the two you (Staff) accord the greatest priority ?

:-) ...so, please could you plan to do it for the other similar cases we

have in this CPM ?

We thought the author could indicate if he has any particular preference as to when Inter-RIR transfers start during the exhaustion phase. Absent of this, it's assumed they take effect immediately after policy ratification of course.


Thanks for this explanation. IMHO, it would have been better to have
this detail into your IAr :-/

Shalom,
