<p>Hi Noah</p>
<p>Yes I am aware of that. That's why I mentioned soon-to-come.<br>
I am confident we as community will be able to reach consensus in
another good Inter-RIR policy at some point in the near future,
not like that old rushed and bad discussed one which injected to
keep legacy status for legacy holders at the very last minute
without any discussion.</p>
<p>I agree members holding IPv4 space and not building
infrastructure should return that space to the RIR or transfer to
another AfriNic members. That's pretty obvious but unfortunately
there are people trying to make it normal members to hold large
amount of unused IP space just to rent to a non connectivity
customer.<br>
</p>
<p>Regards<br>
Fernando<br>

Want to use AfriNic resources in a different region ?
Simply transfer <br>
