I think this refers to the issue of trading IP addresses from one region to
another. Hypertheticaly post depletion if a US based company needs Ipv4
Resources and i have a /20 which i have not yet used but could collect
$20,000 from this big US company what happens there??. Though current
policies do not allow this what happens if through the bottom up policy the
community passes a policy that allows this to hapen and as you mentioned
earlier the cross polination means that we pass the same policy in afrinic
what could be the implications to the RIR system as we know it ??
