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></div><p style="margin:0px" align="justify" class=""><span style="font-size:small" class=""> </span></p><h4 style="text-align:justify" class=""><span style="font-size:small" class="">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" class=""><span style="font-size:small" class="">3.2) Both the source entity and recipient must be AFRINIC members.</span></h4><div style="margin: 0px;" class=""><span style="font-size:small" class=""></span><span style="font-size:small" class="">3.3) Conditions on the source of the transfer:</span></div><div style="margin: 0px;" class=""><span style="font-size:small" class="">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></div><p style="margin:0px" class=""><span style="font-size:small" class=""> </span></p><div style="margin: 0px;" class=""><span style="font-size:small" class="">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></div><p style="margin:0px" class=""><span style="font-size:small" class=""> </span></p><div style="margin: 0px;" class=""><span style="font-size:small" class="">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.
