legacy resources will no longer be regarded as legacy
resources”. This way you keep the
reciprocity/compatibility with all the regions but at the

with the existing Intra-RIR policy (incomming works for

Issues with Legacy holders: This is a tricky one and
there are no right or wrong answers about it.
Legacy holder remanning legacy holder, some feel is
not fair, Legacy holder not remanning legacy holders
some feel it would be better. On this issue, we have
gone back and forward on it because of the diverse
views of the community even as co-chairs we hold a
diverse view on this because both have advantages and
disadvantages. Personally, I have had to change my
view on this issue when I got a superior argument but
I have not allowed my personal view to have any effect
on the decision we take on this issue. The authors
indicated that they do not mind whichever way the
community goes on this issue. Originally on the
proposal, they indicated "legacy holders should not
remain legacy holders" they were asked to change this
and they also did. Therefore this issue of Legacy
holders can to be discussed separately more
importantly when there is no right or wrong answer on
it and the authors have been very flexible on this
issue. The decision on this issue has been addressed
in relation to the transfer policy but it can still be
amended if the community agrees now or later in
future. We just have to go with the majority for now
since no right or wrong answer from our view. We see
how this goes.<u></u><u></u></p>

case, we as co-chairs elected by the community has to step
forward cos this is our role. To take decisions on
behalf of the community in situations like this.
Unfortunately, some people want to take over this role.
We have two co-chairs for a reason and am sure we both
cant be stupid. Some said we should follow the convention
on this issue, we said "<i>Ok no problem</i>",
