[rpd] Revised Proposal | Resource Transfer Policy (Draft-2)

[Fernando Frediani]

I have the same view that the proposal is not yet well worded and it is 
not correct to impose policies of the receiving RIR to the source 
transfers, which should be bound to the origin RIR. The policies that 
matter most at the end are the ones of the destination RIR where the 
resources will be registered after the transfer is successful.
Also in 5.7.3.2 it is not correct to allow the source entities to remain 
eligible to receive further IPv4 form AfriNic. It the source entity is 
giving up space it means it doesn't need anymore and it it is not 
correct that it can receive more space from AfriNic at least at some 
point in time.

Lastly one thing that lacks is the publishing of the successful 
transfers by AfriNic in order to give publicity to all community.

Regards
Fernando
