In order to meet the needs of late resource requestors, a transfer policy for IPv4 resources within the region is needed. The goal of this policy is to define conditions under which transfers must occur.</span></p><p style="margin:0px" align="justify"><span style="font-size:small"> </span></p><h3><span style="font-size:small">2) Summary of How this Proposal Addresses the Problem</span></h3><p style="margin:0px"><span style="font-size:small">The Policy solves the issue of an African organisation needing IPv4 number resources after the exhaustion of the AFRINIC IPv4 pool or when AFRINIC can no longer satisfy the needs of such an organization.</span></p><p style="margin:0px" align="justify"><span style="font-size:small"> </span></p><h3 style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:small">3) The Proposal</span></h3><p style="margin:0px" align="justify"><span style="font-size:small">This policy (IPv4 Soft Landing), applies to the management of address space that will be available to AfriNIC after the current IPv4 pool is depleted. The purpose of this document is to ensure that address space is assigned and/or allocated in a manner that is acceptable to the AfriNIC community especially during this time of IPv4 exhaustion.</span></p><p style="margin:0px" align="justify"><span style="font-size:small"> </span></p><h4 style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:small">3.1) This policy takes effect as from phase 2 of the IPv4 soft landing policy (AFPUB-2010-v4-005) or its successor.</span></h4><h4 style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:small">3.2) Both the source entity and recipient must be AFRINIC members.</span></h4><p style="margin:0px"><span style="font-size:small"></span><span style="font-size:small">3.3) Conditions on the source of the transfer:</span></p><p style="margin:0px"><span style="font-size:small">3.3.1 The source must be the current rightful holder of the IPv4 address resources recognised by AFRINIC, and not be involved in any dispute as to the status of those resources.</span></p><p style="margin:0px"><span style="font-size:small"> </span></p><p style="margin:0px"><span style="font-size:small">3.3.2 Source entities will not be eligible to receive any further IPv4 address allocations or assignments from AFRINIC for a period of 12 months after a transfer approval.</span></p><p style="margin:0px"><span style="font-size:small"> </span></p><p style="margin:0px"><span style="font-size:small">3.3.3 Source entities must not have received a transfer, allocation, or assignment of IPv4 number resources from AFRINIC for the 12 months prior to the approval of transfer request.
