Re: [sig-policy] Address Transfer Policy Proposal



Geoff Huston wrote:

A: When a member disposes of address space using this transfer policy
   the member should not be entitled to any further IPv4 allocations
   or assigments from APNIC for a period of 24 months.

or

B: Any address that will be transfered must be held by the transfering
   party for at least 12 months, regardless of how the address was
   obtained.

Under option B, APNIC would be attempting to influence the behavior of
members prior and during a proposed transfer process.  I would suggest
that this may be in-effectual and may  result in members not notifying
APNIC when a transfer has occurred.

I concur, limiting the receiving party's ability to do something with the resource will likely cause them to still do that something but just not tell anyone, something we want to avoid.

My vote is for option A - make people think hard before they dispose of resources.
