    <p>I agree with Jordi's and Noah's messages in the sense Co-Chairs
      cannot hold the publishing of a new proposal despite their
      personal beliefs. If there are/will be issues with the new
      proposal that will be discussed afterwards by the Working Group
      and I also ask the Co-Chairs to let it go its natural path and not
      set this precedent.</p>

                                      <br>
                                      A new policy proposal  named
                                      "AFRINIC resources transfer
                                      policy" is submitted for
                                      discussions. This proposal
                                      obsoletes the current  IPv4 
                                      transfer within AFRINIC  service
                                      region policy, defines rules for
                                      transfers of IPv4 and ASNs within
                                      the region and between the AFRINIC
                                      service region and other regions.<br>
                                      <br>
                                      The policy allows a category of
                                      resources to be transferred out of
                                      the region, another category of
                                      resources to be transferred inside
                                      and denies the transfer of certain
                                      resources.<br>
                                      <br>
                                      We expect this to be a response to
                                      a harmonised policy which
                                      addresses some of the limitations
                                      of the intra-rir policy and
                                      proposes a solution for an
                                      inter-rir transfer  which
                                      minimizes the foreseen risks of
                                      uncontrolled outflow of resources.<o:p></o:p></p>

                                      </b>The AFRINIC IPv4 pool is
                                      expected to run out soon. Some
                                      entities may need IPv4 space to
                                      support their IPv6 deployments,
                                      especially to support transition
                                      mechanisms, which AFRINIC may not
                                      meet. The current Intra-RIR policy
                                      in force at AFRINIC allows
                                      entities to receive unused IPv4
                                      addresses from other members
                                      solely within the AFRINIC region,
                                      based on justified needs.
                                      Considering the limited IPv4 space
                                      initially made available to
                                      AFRINIC (AFRINIC manages only 7.23
                                      /8s with a very low ratio of IPv4
                                      addresses per Internet user),
                                      there will therefore be a need to
                                      allow for unused IPv4 from other
                                      regions to move into the AFRINIC
                                      service region °V this without
                                      necessarily depleting AFRINIC's
                                      slim amount of IPv4 addresses by
                                      transferring space out of the
                                      region. The current Intra-RIR

                                      be transferred, including IPv4
                                      from special purpose blocks
                                      (reserved blocks for IXPs and DNS
                                      root ops, Last /8, etc.) The
                                      current intra-RIR transfer policy
                                      does not cover ASNs while there
                                      are cases where transfers of ASNs

                                      desirable.<br>

                                      </b>This new policy defines a set
                                      of rules to allow transfer of IPv4
                                      addresses and ASNs within the
                                      AFRINIC service region; and
                                      between the AFRINIC service region

                                      location of parties (sources and
                                      recipients) and the conditions to
                                      be met.<br>
                                      The policy segregates resources in
                                      different categories and defines
                                      which transfer rules apply to each
                                      category.<br>
                                      Only Legacy resources and
                                      resources transferred in from
                                      other regions will be transferable
                                      out of the AFRINIC service region.<br>
                                      The policy also makes the
                                      following provisions:<br>
                                      - Number resources are
                                      non-transferable unless AFRINIC
                                      has expressly and in writing
                                      approved a request for transfer.
                                      AFRINIC is tasked with making
                                      prudent decisions on whether to
                                      approve the transfer of number
                                      resources.<br>
                                      - IPv4 addresses and ASNs can be
                                      transferred only in accordance
                                      with this policy. <br>
                                      - AFRINIC does not recognize
                                      transfers outside of approved
                                      transfer policies and requires
                                      organizations holding such
                                      resources to return them to the
                                      appropriate registries.<br>
                                      The goal of this transfer policy
                                      is to help distribute resources
                                      from those who no longer need them
                                      to organizations that need the
                                      resources, but cannot obtain them
                                      from the AFRINIC free pools.<br>
                                      AFRINIC recognizes the following
                                      types of transfers:<br>
                                      - merger, acquisition, takeover or
                                      consolidation,<br>
                                      - between AFRINIC members,<br>
                                      - between an AFRINIC member and an

                                      - between a Legacy resource holder
                                      and an AFRINIC member,<br>
                                      - between a Legacy resource holder
                                      and an organization in another
                                      region.<br>
                                      AFRINIC will process and record
                                      Inter-RIR resource transfers only
                                      when the counterpart RIR has an
                                      Inter-RIR transfer policy that

                                      address space and ASNs between its
