<p>Dear All, <br>
</p>
<p>I wish to start my comments from Jordi's statements. I totally
agree that we should look at policy proposals from the perspective
of whether is it good for the community. <br>
</p>
<p>1. There is a silent conspiracy of competition where community
members are competing against each other to push personal agenda,
rather than proposing a policy that truly serves the interest of
all. <br>
</p>
<p>2. I agree that the attempts made by Jordi in getting the other
two Inter-RIR proposals authors to come to an agreement to have a
common document is laudable. However, I am also aware that the
authors (Taiwo and Co.) agree to Jordi's suggestion and had a
discussion. The outcome of the meeting suggests that Jordi and
Taiwo's group have an open mind towards having an acceptable and
possibly a working proposal.</p>
<p>3. To further show good faith Jordi opted to support Taiwo and
Co's proposal (if I am not mistaken). I believe Jordi is still
committed to that and will want to see that we all support this
effort especially with the call of the Co-Chairs.</p>
<p>4. I don't want to believe we at an "Ego" war, where some people
will feel defeated, because there was no competition in the first
place.</p>
<p>5. I am sure the spirit behind the Co-chairs call is to see an
end to this perceive competition which is unhealthy and time
consuming.</p>
<p>6. We all agreed that Inter-RIR policy is desirable, and we
cannot have one in isolation of the other RIRs. Therefore,
openness on this is very important, hence we should align with a
policy that pushes that.</p>
<p>7. I see a significant attempt to strangulate the Co-chairs
because their call did not go the way of some members of the
community. I will want to caution here that we can easily create a
vicious cycle, where no Co-chair can ever make a call on any
proposal without being hanged. This also can lead to members of
the community refusing to be Co-chair and we will one day be left
stranded.</p>
<p>It is important we give the Co-chairs a breather and salute their
courage in navigating the maze of the issues on ground and bring
us to some point. I suggest we concentrate on refining the
proposal on call.</p>
<p>Simply,</p>
<p>Daniel<br>

completely different topic (it doesn’t matter for this
discussion), and only after not having reaction from the
authors in months and meeting them in Dakar, I submitted
my “competing” proposal . Then I withdraw it in Hammamet

Specially because one of the authors of one of those
proposals was the one telling me in Hammamet that I was
not doing right competing to them and “I was just a guest
there …” (and no code of conduct was applied). Not nice.
Even in that situation, I’m always be very happy, as I’ve
said many times, to work with other committed authors.
People that respond to emails, people that really want the
good of the community, *<b>even</b>* if this is against

was not agreeing or considering necessary, such as the ASN
or the security belt: because I was hearing the community
inputs. Consequently, I’ve been always happy to
incorporate or remove or reword any points if that means
reaching consensus in something that is good for the
community. Of course, if I strongly believe that is “bad”
I will try to find a middle-agreement point. This is what

authors can confirm, I’ve tried to find an agreement,
organize a call, or even a meeting in Luanda among all
(before the PPM), etc. and have a single proposal (note
that I’m not saying this or that proposal, just something
in common). I’ve even met in person one of the authors in
the previous IETF, he got no time for trying to fix it.
There was no way to agree. Somehow, I was thinking that
one of the proposals was closer to what I think is the
best for the community - again, NOT FOR ME, I’m irrelevant
– I can “concede” (the latin original meaning of
consensus) in what is not essential for me, if it is still
good for the community.<u></u><u></u></span></li>

of the resource transfer policy in the
last call explain, which problem is
being addressed?<br>
<br>
The problem statement is awkward to say
the least. The issue with the problem
statement was raised in Luanda and
during the virtual AIS. How can we can
adopt a proposal when the
problem statement is out of scope of the
PDP?<br>

1. Summary of the problem being
addressed by this proposal<br>
The current policy fails to support a
two-way Inter-RIR policy, thereby
hindering smooth business operation,
development, and growth in the region.
This proposal aims to establish an
efficient and business-friendly
mechanism to allow a number of resources
to be transferred from/to other regions.
This proposal outlines a model in which
AFRINIC can freely transfer number
resources to/from other regions, i.e.
RIPE NCC, APNIC, ARIN and LACNIC. This
includes both IPv4 addresses and AS
numbers.<br>

<p style="margin-left:35.4pt">There is
no much I can do other than state my
<b>opposition to this proposal</b>
to advance and reach any consensus
mainly because 5.7.4.3 has been
inverted from what was originally in
the proposal and only changed at
last minute due to some comments in
the PPM going straight to last call
which didn't give opportunity to the
community re-evaluate this major
change and if it's suitable to the
region or not.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p style="margin-left:35.4pt">Co-Chairs
cannot advance this proposal to
rough consensus the way it is and I
urge and ask them again to bring it
back to discussion to find out a
resolution to these opened issues.
Multiple people raised substantial
concerns about it already. There is
no way it can be considered 'rough
consensus'.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p style="margin-left:35.4pt">I also
understand there may be a hurry to
get a Inter-RIR transfer policy as
soon as possible, but we must care
about what is most important than
that which is get policies to
reflect what is really good for the
region and not just to a few actors,
even if it takes a bit longer. I
support Jordi's suggestion to have
another PPM in a few months so
perhaps this proposal can advance
from that point in time. LACNIC
remained about 2 years without a
Inter-RIR transfer policy after it
run out of addresses for new
organizations and survived. AfriNic
will survive if it has to wait a few
more months in order to get things
really right.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p style="margin-left:35.4pt">Now
going to the merit of the proposal
specially the main point I oppose
(5.7.4.3):<br>
There is no sense at all to keep
considering transferred legacy
resources as legacy. This doesn't
work that way and has a proper
reason to be like that which is fix
a historical internet problem and
reduce legacy resources with time as
they get transferred to 'normal'
organizations who purchased them in
the market for example.<br>
In this way organizations receiving
these resources are bind to the same
rules everybody else making it much
fair to everybody and making no
distinction between members.<br>
Allowing resources to remain
considered legacy only contributed
to abuses and unfairness allowing
those who can pay more do whatever
they like which is bad for the rest
of the Internet community which are
subject to the same rules that
apply equally to them.<br>
If transferred legacy resources are
not considered legacy anymore more
and more they will apply equally for
everybody as they become as a normal
resource within any RIR. There has
been a strong reason for this be
like that until now and to continue
like that.<u></u><u></u></p>

<pre style="margin-left:35.4pt">I think 5.7.3.3. doesn't add any value, it could be removed and doesn't change anything: if there is no limite, no need to mention it.

<pre style="margin-left:35.4pt"><u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:35.4pt">Similarly 5.7.4.2. could be removed as well. We already said that the recipient should comply with policies (5.7.3.1), so what is this adding? Just superfluous text.<u></u><u></u></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:35.4pt"><u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:35.4pt">Note also my imputs in the previous email, regarding the hold period and the legacy status.

<pre style="margin-left:35.4pt"><u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:35.4pt">5.7.5.1 is already indicated by the staff as something problematic with the actual wording. The transferring party (the source) may not have any relation (not a member) with the receiving RIR. With this text we are enforcing *all the RIRs* to offer a standard template and process on our mandate. WE CAN'T DO THAT. Our policies only have a mandate in AFRINIC, not in the other RIRs.<u></u><u></u></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:35.4pt"><u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:35.4pt">If we just remove section 5.7.5, and leave it to the staff as part of the operational procedure, the the problem is resolved because the existing process among the all other 4 RIRs for transfers will be "joined" by AFRINIC.
