4.   Details of the proposal
----------------------------

APNIC will process IPv4 address transfer requests involving current
account holders following the adoption of this proposed policy, subject
to the following conditions:

4.1 The minimum transfer size accepted will be a /24.


4.2  Use of address space

     4.2.1 Until such a time when the prevailing APNIC IPv4 allocation
           practice uses the "final /8" policy [1], the recipient of a
           transfer is to justify use of transfered space using the
           allocation and assignment policies in force at the time of
           the transfer.

     4.2.2 After that time, no justification is needed.


4.3 Organizations disposing of their space using this transfer policy
    are not eligible for APNIC IPv4 assignments and/or allocations for
    two years.


4.4 APNIC is to maintain a public log of all transfers.


4.5 Address transfers should be permitted between APNIC account holders
    and NIR members, if and when individual NIRs implement the transfer
    policy.

    NIRs are free to adopt the transfer policy for their members in
    their own time and to use locally determined policies for their NIR
    membership.


4.6 Address transfers are permitted between APNIC account holders and
    other RIR account holders, following the policies of the respective
    RIRs.


4.7 This proposal to take effect as soon as the APNIC Secretariat can
    implement the mechanisms of the policy.
