Dear PDWG,

Thanks for this summary, Chairs.

Please considere my humble and late comments.

~°~
1| First, the summary description of the problem is
clear and real.

2| ...i much appreciate the fact that the authors have included all what i
asked, and keeped a protective DPP; when they published earlier version of
their DPP. Precisely ASN and mergers & acquisitions categories. Only IPv6
remains. Next time perhaps :-)

3| The summary description of the solution is too
detailed. No real problem with that approach. Then,
 what should be done, it to move the text at 3.0 to
2.1 titled “Recommendations to the Editor” and
amend it to obtain:
“
• Insert the text in section 3 below into the CPM;
• Renumber appropriately the sections and subsections for
correctness;
• Don't forget to check for correct inside references of
sections, like found in section 3.4, second bullet.
”

4| In the proposal section (3.), please consider to
replace all occurrence of the term “region” by
“service region” for precision; where it is not already
 done.

5| section 3.1.2 seems to have a numbering issue. Please separate the two
merged definitions...then
renumber the remaining definitions:
“
3.1.2 "Scarce resource" are IPv4 Address space and
Autonomous System Numbers.
3.1.3 "AFRINIC pool" means the AFRINIC managed pool of
IPv4 and ASNs, obtained from IANA (allocated and
recovered) or through the ERX (Early registration transfers).
”

6| i propose a simpler wording for the text in
section 3.3.1. Please see below:
“

3.3.1 If source and recipient are AFRINIC members, then

allow {"Regional"|"Global"|"Legacy"} for transfer. Mark

"Legacy" transferred as "Global".
”

7| Note the **3.3** reference, i mentionned in 3|. Please consider the text
as amended below:
“

3.4 Conditions on resources to be transferred

   - [...]
   - The resource must qualify for the type of transfer requested as
   defined in **3.3**.
   - The resource will be covered by AFRINIC policies after **transferred**
   into the service region's pool.

”

8| Please consider removing parenthesis, as follow:
“

3.6 Conditions on the recipient

   - [...]
   - a detailed plan for the use of the transferred resources. In the case
   of ASN, the recipient must meet the criteria for the assignment of ASN.
   - [...]
   - demonstrate a detailed plan for the use of the transferred resources.
   In the case of ASN, the recipient must meet the criteria for the assignment
   of ASN.
   - [...]

”

Many thanks for considering my late editorial review :'-(

Shalom,
--sb.
