Re: [sig-policy] prop-071: Justifying receiving IPv4 address space

[Andy Linton <asjl@lpnz.org>]

I do not support this proposal.

There was much discussion around the need for APNIC to document 
transfers and maintain accurate data in the database. This policy 
encourages undocumented transfers until the "final /8" stage is reached.

I believe that it would be better to see the process of transfers begin 
before that stage is reached as there will be an alternative supply of 
addresses available from APNIC. Once the "final /8" mechanisms are in 
place supply of IPv4 space will be restricted to a /22 (or smaller 
depending on the current allocation size) and this will drive that 
secondary market.
