<div>As Ekaterina said, RIRs are not supposed to promote any “manhunt” activities. In my opinion, we should focus more on how AFRINIC and the other RIRs can operate smoothly to promote a free-flowing market, ensuring a faster development within AFRINIC region
service. How can RIRs support this if it will not be possible to receive a transfer of resources for a period of 12 months after a transfer approval? Plus, 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 the transfer request with the exception of mergers and acquisitions transfers. This is too intricate, which does not make it safer.

<div>
<div dir="auto">Hello everyone,
<div dir="auto">
<div dir="auto">I would like to contribute to the present discussion. </div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">First of all, as far as I understood, the proposed resource transfer policy would allow free transfer of resources with no limitations. I honestly do not see how this policy “helps bad guys that want to use the resources for malicious activities.”
As I see from the section 5.7.5, in order for the transfer to take place the receiving RIR has to give its approval. I think this mechanism is more than enough to prevent potential abuse. </div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">In addition, I would argue it is not up to the RIR to decide who are “bad guys” and what are “malicious activities.” It is my conviction (please do correct me if I am wrong), that RIRs are merely registration entities and therefore cannot pass
judgment of whether the receiver of transfer is a “good” or a “bad” guy. RIRs also should not have any interest for which purpose the resources are used as long as “technical need” is proven. Also, according to my knowledge of how the international economy
works – it doesn’t matter if it is “good” or “bad” guys who are requesting the transfer of resources, long as there is a free flow of resources, and the commissions are being paid and taxed, it should only bolster the economy in the region.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">In any case, I think we need to abstract ourselves from using moral categories and focus on the important issues, which are, in my view, facilitating the economic development of the African region and putting AFRINIC on equal ground with other
RIRs. As far as I can see, this policy does precisely that. Therefore, I wholeheartedly support it.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>

that once approved need to be included into another waiting list due to quarantine reasons. These complications cannot be smoothly managed by AFRINIC due its shortage of workforce. The section 5.7.3.2 would make the overall working system more efficient. Furthermore,

<p style="margin-left:35.4pt">I see that point 5.7.3.2 goes in the opposite way of the obvious.<br>
If an organization gave up of its IP address space because it doesn't have usage for it anymore, why would it be allowed to receive more resources from AfriNic in short term ?<br>
Organizations receive IP space upon justification expected to be used to serve their customers in a certain time frame ahead. If sudden it realizes these addresses are not necessary anymore and transfer them to some other organization who really need them why
would the source entity be allowed to receive even further space ?<br>
It is not correct to say it drags Afrinic service region backwards in comparison to other RIRs. LACNIC and ARIN for example have similar policies in regards this topic.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p style="margin-left:35.4pt">5.7.3.3. doesn't make sense either to be changed. The current text is correct and has a proper reason to be like this, otherwise it opens doors to fraud and to organizations to receive IP space form Afrinic and immediately to transfer
to someone else who cannot receive them anymore under the current exhaustion rules.<u></u><u></u></p>
