[rpd] Transfer Policy Proposal v.3.docx

[Mike Burns]

Hi Noah,

 

Can you provide an estimated total of the fees that we are talking about  here and how they compare to AFRINIC’s revenue overall?

After all, it is your side which is seeking to stop this policy from proceeding, apparently partially based on the fee argument.

 

I am a legacy holder as well as non-legacy holder and I am well aware of the arguments about provision of legacy services to members with legacy resources. I understand the value of bringing addresses under an RSA, and I understand the value of keeping legacy holders participating. They are at tension.

 

This is not the place or time for those arguments, however.

 

Regards,
Mike

Fees avoided by legacy status are a very small issue here, 

 

Mike I am not surprised by your subjective opinion above. As such, be reminded that legacy space holders are benefitting from various services which are made possible from fees paid by AFRINIC resource members. So this is not a small issue if others have to bleed money for legacy space holders to enjoy freely. 

 

not something that should delay this important policy.

 

What is the rush. Shall we not follow the policy development process just because you think this particular proposal is so important because it's open ended which is what you would like to see.

 

What is important is that the PDP process must be followed to the letter and all pending issues with this proposal and the other inter-rir transfer policy proposal must be addressed and that includes the impact on AFRINIC Ltd which I am sure you careless about.

 

Cheers,

Noah
