[rpd] IPv4 Inter RIR Resource Transfer (Comprehensive Scope)

[Mike Silber]

Hi Innocent

I am not sure you have in fact read the policy, or are just arguing from emotions?

I think you are missing the point - parties in other regions do not have access to unallocated IPv4 resources from AfriNIC and requesting resources for intended transfer by an AfriNIC member would not be a valid reason for allocation.

What you may have missed is that most other regions:

have far more allocated IPv4 resources than AfriNIC, some by several factors of magnitude;
are far further advanced in IPv6 adoption; and
have a declining need for IPv4 resources (partly due to scarcity of new resources), which is addressed by their own secondary markets and they have no need to exploit AfriNIC resources.

As such, AfriNIC is likely to be a net gainer of resources, if this policy is approved.

Regards

Mike
