[rpd] Proposal Update Received | IPv4 Inter-RIR Resource Transfers (Comprehensive Scope) | AFPUB-2019-IPv4-002-DRAFT02

[Fernando Frediani]

Owen, I was under the impression this point had been overcome in the 
previous discussion when several people mentioned they would not agree 
to start if not after Phase 2, then the author adjusted the text to that 
and made it simpler and clear given that feedback.
You seem to be concerned with a scenario that doesn't exist or hardly 
can be supported with any evidence, at least NRO numbers don't support 
that there is any signal of organizations that will fall into what you 
are supposing. As said if there is *any* it is not that they will not be 
able to work until Phase 2, but they can still receive a fair amount of 
IP addresses (a /13) and keep working until transfers are implemented, 
so a quiet reasonable thing. Having to change the text for a possible 
non existent scenario is unnecessary in my view.

LACNIC (which has a much faster pace than Africa in address allocation) 
went Phase 2 and *just 2 years later* a Inter-RIR transfer policy 
reached consensus and is not know of any major issues that happened in 
the mean time. The case in Africa is even better than LACNIC because 
this proposal is being discussed upfront, so the gap will be much short 
to (again) a much shorter pace.
There fairness you asked is in the fact they can still receive a /13 and 
the gap between consensus and Phase2 will be much shorter.

And last, a change in the way you propose will not have any practical 
effects because will not be reciprocal to other RIRs until it enters 
Phase 2 and AfriNic is able to do outgoing as well, so why change the 
text for something unpractical ?

Therefore I don't really think is worth concern about this detail now 
and why I consider the current text very appropriate.

Regards
Fernando
