[rpd] Proposal Update received: AFRINIC Number Resources Transfer Policy

[Fernando Frediani]

Hello Sylvain.

I consider that the main motivation to allow transfers for IPv4 is the 
scarcity. In normal conditions, including a M&A the company would have 
to receive resources in the new RIR and do renumbering. Some people say 
that renumbering has costs, but that is part of the business and should 
be accounted as part of the whole transaction.

Allowing IPv6 transfers has the potential to mess up with the way it was 
distributed and is allocated among all RIRs (remember there are no 
Legacy IPv6) and also would have costs for RIRs to adapt they systems in 
order to allow that, a cost that would be of all members in order to 
accomplish the need of just a few.

Regards
Fernando
