<p>Hi Jordi,</p>
<p>I fully support your transfer proposals..</p>
<p>I agree that there are some fundamentalists out there but please
don't let that stop you. Please keep the two proposals alive (the
one for legacy transfers only - which if passed - will prove you
are correct; and the other that covers non-legacy address space).
<br>
</p>
<p>If we don't have such transfer proposals - then growth will
stagnate in our region. I don't want to see that. I want to see
continued growth!<br>

<p style="margin-left: 35.4pt;" class="">Hi<br class="">
This is not about a "hypothesis" but rather a quiet
obvious and logic thing to face. If Africa is the only
region that still has space left for its members and
the rest of the world is seeking for more IP space at
lower cost it makes total sense for someone to think
in trying to get IP space form this region and send
them out to where is interesting to them if such
proposal ever reach consensus. Luckily I don't think
it will be the case given the number of oppositions
raised and good points put against it.<br class="">
I think maybe you misunderstood some of what has been
said and discussed about this topic but I will try to
answer some of the points raised.<o:p class=""></o:p></p>

is not true. In the current phase an African member
who needs IP space can just request, justify and will
get the addresses needed. Just when it enters phase 2
it will still be possible to get a smaller block and
at that point ISPs should have done their homework to
prioritize the addresses they already hold to
transition mechanisms rather than the way they were
used to use in the past. That is probably the reason
this is called soft landing. Nobody can be get by
surprise.<br class="">
The most important is that as it stands now African
members can get IP space normally, they don't need to
go to the market to get extra space and it is a reason
that reinforces that this proposal brings zero benefit
to the region.<br class="">
And the fact local members can still get the space
they request, this proposal should not pass, otherwise
it will be a even higher risk of fraud from external
organizations at the current Phase of IPv4 Exhaustion.<br

believe it is pretty much explained above, but lets go
a bit more into it. Companies from other regions may
find cheaper to open a "fake" or "virtual" company in

afterwards request a transfer to another RIR where the
address will really be used by them. The cost to buy a
/24 or a /22 in the market makes the economics pretty
worth for fraudsters to do all necessary and

becomes a RIR member and receives a block, it is
obliged to use it according to the current rules,
policies and behave according to the bylaws and the
contract they signed and agreed. There are cases where
violations on the policy or how the organization
handle the IP space can get these resources revoked
from the organization. This works like that on any
RIR, not just in AfriNIC.<br class="">
Therefore if the current policies don't allow
transfers "under the table" (quiet obvious) and if
such wrong attitude and violation of the policy proved
the resource holder doesn't have usage for that IP

When an organization cannot get **any more address**
(therefore only after phase 2 is finished- a while
from now) it means it still has address to use or
re-used for different and more efficient proposed as
transition mechanisms and until that happens the
dependency on IPv4 will be lower than it is now a
days. Still on such scenarios there are still
alternatives as for example the mentioned in the
previous message to create a new policy to assign that
last /12 revered under section 5.4.7.1 for new
entrants and for IPv6 transition mechanisms as it
exists in other RIRs.<br class="">
At that point maybe will be a better time to discuss a
Inter-RIR transfer policy again with much less risk
that addresses will be looted from the region.<br

available for its<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br
class="">
members they should be protected and made sure they
are assigned only<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br
class="">
for real usage in the continent.<br class="">
It is pretty reasonable to think that the major
interest will be in<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
companies outside Africa to come to the region, get
IP space and send it<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
out than the contrary as AfriNIC members can get IP
space directly from<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
the RIR. Why would members need it coming from other
regions then ?<br class="">
Also the 12 months period to request receive more IP
space from AfriNIC<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
is quiet short in my view and make it worth in order
to increase fraud<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br
class="">
for those who wish to send these addresses out of
the region.<br class="">
<br class="">
Even if it's expected AfriNIC's IP space to run out
anytime soon I still<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
don't believe it is a reason to allow inter-RIR
transfers. In LACNIC<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
region for example it exhausted IPv4 space for
existing members in 2017<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
and only very recently after 2 years the inter-RIR
transfer has reached<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
consensus there, so I think this type of proposal
should be re-evaluated<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
later on in the future when the scenario changes and
when there are real<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
benefits for Africa region.<br class="">
<br class="">
The fact that transfers happen "under the table" I
don't consider this<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
as a strong argument in favor of this change.
Transfers under the table<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
are wrong and against the current policies therefore
those who may be<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br
class="">
doing it are the wrong ones, not the RIR for not
allowing such<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br
class="">
transfers. Any organization who received IP space
from AfriNIC must bind<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
to the current policies and that includes not to do
transfers that are<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
not allowed. If they insist on that, sanctions must
be applied against<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
them, therefore there are mechanisms to properly fix
this issue, if it<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br
class="">
exists.<br class="">
<br class="">
The deployment of IPv6 is not impacted for AfricNIC
members for the<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br
class="">
current scenario as IPv4 is still available to be
requested by<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br
class="">
organizations for usage by transition mechanisms for
example. Even when<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
that is not possible anymore there are still
alternatives as for<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
example: 1) re-use of already hold IP space, 2)
establishment of a<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
dedicated pool for specific usage with IPv6
transition mechanisms or 3)<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
prioritization of new entrants, the last two for
example based on the<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
/12 reserved for future use as stated by section<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a
href="http://5.4.7.1/" style="color: purple;
text-decoration: underline;" class=""
moz-do-not-send="true">5.4.7.1</a><span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>of the<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
AfriNIC's Exhaustion Policy<br class="">
<br class="">
I also second a comment made by another person in
this discussion here:<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
"Allowing Inter-RIR transfers open room for
resources meant to be used<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
in our region being traded fast due to economic
reasons beyond the real<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
purpose they were meant for which is to help build
the African Internet".<br class="">
<br class="">
Therefore I don't think is good or necessary for
Africa region to allow<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
inter-RIR transfers and put the RIR under the risk
of its address space<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
to go out of the region unnecessarily and in an
unneeded scenario.<br class="">
<br class="">
Best regards<br class="">
Fernando<br class="">
