<p>IPv4 resources were never enough for the world (Four-ish billion
IP addresses). That's why IPv6 was created. The other four RIR's
have basically run out of IPv4 - which to an extent has forced
them to adopt IPv6. In a perverse way - its actually bad for
Africa to NOT have run out as we lazily continue to deploy IPv4 -
last years technology as such.. Better to move straight to IPv6
before we are too weighed down by the legacy restrictiveness of
IPv4 addresses.<br>
<br>
Also - the Transfer Policy would generally need to be
bidirectional so that other RIR regions will allow the transfer of
IPv4 resources into Africa - that is, play on an equal footing -
if indeed some of the larger African ISP's need to acquire more
IPv4 addresses.<br>
</p>
<p>If an African LIR/ISP does sell IPv4 resources to another region
then the capitol will probably be used to expand that LIR's
business - presumably in an IPv6 direction - which would be
beneficial to that LIR's customers and to an extent, the rest of
our community.</p>
<p>Just think, for the first time ever, we get to dump old
technology onto "developed" countries rather than the other way
around.<br>

I think the transfer of inter-RIR does not benefit AFRINIC for the simple reason that AFRINIC's resources are not enough for its region.

<p dir="ltr"><br>
I stand to support the policy on proposal of IPV4
inter-RIR legacy resources transfer.<br>
</p>
<p dir="ltr">We're running out of IPV4 resources and the
Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) have started to run
out of of IPV4 resources as well. IPv4 inter-RIR legacy
resources from and to other regions will offer a realistic
solution to the problem of reclaiming the significant
amount of unused IPV4 resources and allocating them to
their most efficient users. The transfer will be subject
to the need to main route aggregation and allow resources
not in used in one region to be transferred to a region
where it is needed.<br>
</p>
<p dir="ltr">Preventing IPv4 Inter-RIR Legacy Resource
Transfers would only push the demand and supply pressures
surrounding the scarcity of resources into different
channel such as the holder of this unused resources will
do everything within their power for continued possession
of this resources for purpose of black market, increase
their value in an acquisition.<br>
</p>
<p dir="ltr">Inter-RIR Legacy would definitely allows
organization willing to release address resources to
benefit monetarily by selling them to another region who
wants them subject to the record keeping requirements and
regulation of inter regional legacy instead of being
hijacked or use without authorization. <br>
</p>
<p dir="ltr">It is very obvious that the risk associated
with this will be very small when compare to the potential
benefit and this will also reinforce effectiveness of the
inter Regional Internet Address Registries in global
internet governance.<br>
