Dear PDWG<br>
<p>During the Policy discussions in the AFRINIC-32 PPM on 17 Sep
2020, there was a debate regarding the reciprocity of one
inter-RIR transfer policy proposal with ARIN. The Policy Liaison
had responded that since there are 3 policy proposals under
discussion and that two of them had undergone revision in 2020 ,
AFRINIC shall contact ARIN to get their authoritative response
in regard to the reciprocity of all the <b>3 proposals</b>.</p>
<p>Since the LACNIC, RIPE and APNIC RIRs all have inter-RIR
transfer policies, and we, AFRINIC do not have their assessment
of the reciprocity of the 3 policy proposals under discussion on
record, AFRINIC has therefore reached out to all 4 RIRs to
get their inputs regarding the reciprocity of the<b> three </b>policy
proposals that were discussed in the AFRINIC PPM last week.</p>
<p>We shall update you once we have received the updates from the
4 RIRs. "<br>
</p>
<p>Kind Regards</p>
Madhvi <br>
