[rpd] AFRINIC Number Resources Transfer Policy

[Fernando Frediani]

This proposal states in 5.7.3.2 that "the source entities are eligible 
to receive further IPv4 allocations or assigments from AFRINIC". What is 
the logic on that ?
If a organization is transferring its resources it means it doesn't need 
them anymore and therefore it doesn't make sense they can receive any 
further space from AFRINIC.

It also proposes in 5.7.4.1 that "the transfer does not require approval 
from AFRINIC". Of course there must be a mutual agreement on both sides 
for a transfer to happen but the RIR must check everything and 'approve' 
that everything is correct and can happen. Furthermore the justification 
for coming 10 years it way to long and I've never seen it in any other 
place which for me doesn't make sense otherwise would clearly allow 
stockpiling which is one of the key things to be avoided in IP 
assignment since the very beginning.

The proposal also removes something fundamental to fix a historical 
mistake, with the removal o 5.7.4.3 which converts legacy transferred 
resources to non-legacy.

Therefore I can not support this proposal as it is.
