Re: [sig-policy] prop-050-v002: IPv4 address transfers

Dear Geoff,

Conditions on the IPv4 address block:

     - Only IPv4 address blocks equal to, or larger than, a /24 prefix
       may be transferred.

     - The address block must be in the range of addresses administered
       by APNIC, either as part of a /8 address block assigned by the
       IANA to APNIC, or as part of a historically-assigned address
       block now administered by APNIC.

     - The address block must be allocated or assigned to a current
       APNIC account holder.

     - The address block will be subject to all current APNIC policies
       from the time of transfer. This includes address blocks
       previously considered to be "historical".

I believe this proposal will play an important role in next few years.

I think these conditions are not clear that transfer part of address block is allowed.

For example, an entity that have /16 can transfer /17 to another entity
or entity should transfer whole of /16.


It is the intent of this policy proposal that transfer of part of an address is allowed, to a limit of a /24.
