Dear Fernando,
I understand your arguments, but we must not force an entity, resulting
from a Merger|Acquisition,
to act the way you described. It seems to me like going a bit out of the
scope of the PD-WG. The
Merger|Acquisition entity should be free to use at least the Internet
resources they have legally
inherited. Or am i missing something ?
...or it's not really the goal: treat the Merger|Acquisition case into this
single Draft Policy
Proposal (DPP) ?
Any author to clarify ? :-/
An other thing : after reading the Staff comment as IAr (Impact Analysis
report) for this DPP and
considering an explanation given by Ernest, i understand that there is
problem to solve within
the Merger|Acquisition particular case before considering them as potential
beneficiary of this
DPP.

...IMHO, the Merger|Acquisition entity should be free to use your good
advice Fernando ;-)

...including RIPE NCC, yes and in that particular RIR, IPv6 transfers are
allowed ; including for
Inter-RIR Transfers. And not only for the good of Merger|Acquisition
entities (In|Out of region).

Thanks for this interesting information, hopefully we could have a new IAr
or a at least a Staff
response about this affirmation.
...so, Ernest, can you consider contacting RIPE NCC Staff to provide us
with a kick response ?
Thanks for your understanding.

Fernando, if we want a business stability into this region, preferably we
should understand
Merger|Acquisition advantages more than something which could only harm the
greatest part of
resource members of this RIR. To be clearer, i see Merger|Acquisition
scenarios inside AFRINIC
region. That is why, i'm insisting for the authors to include IPv6 in their
$resource pool|definition.
Also, the *few* you have mentioned below are not known right now :'-(
...then, any AFRINIC given resource member could become part of a
Merger|Acquisition scenario
at any time...
...let me go further, in my analysis i also see, in fact, a potential legal
risk in regard to the RSA
which seems to clearly grant Merger|Acquisitions entities with a kind of
*business continuity right*
or guarantee. If i have read it correctly, though :-/
Thanks.
Shalom,
