With these statistics, I fail to see the problem that was being addressed as opposed to the problem is now causes by limiting the way people do their business.

Hello Owen,

 

There is 1.86% of the delegations from 103/8 block have been transferred by M&A. Out of that, only 5 ranges transferred more than once.

 

There are 152 members acquired 103/8 ranges via M&A transfers. It is 1% of the total membership (includes members under NIRs). Out of that, 123 members received one range, 16 members received two ranges and 13 members received more two ranges.

 

Kind regards,

Guangliang

I would argue that 257 probably represents a significant fraction of the distributed portion of 103/8.

 

I would be interested if staff can answer what percentage of the issued 103/8 resources have been subject

to one or more M&A transfers since issuance. I’d be especially interested in the number instances where

the same entity has “acquired” more than entity that holds 103/8 block(s).

 

I am concerned that there could be an emerging pattern of:

 

              1.           Stand up shell entity

              2.           Subscribe shell entity to APNIC and obtain 103/8 block.

              3.           Merge shell entity into parent entity and M&A transfer block into parent’s holdings.

              4.           Lather, rinse, repeat.

 

Owen

This number is so small in the scheme of things it should NOT have been enshrined in policy.

Hi,

 

I see this as more of a "do not make policy retroactively".  People who "bought" an "asset" in good faith should not be told it is worth different now.

 

I am amenable to changing the cut-off date in Prop-123 to the date it was sent to the Policy SIG, as that might have given warning to people the rules were changing.

 

APNIC Secretariat, how many transfers will be affected by Prop-123?

prop-123-v001: Modify 103/8 IPv4 transfer policy

1. Problem statement
-------------------------------------------------------
 
Policy Proposal prop-116-v006: Prohibit to transfer IPv4 addresses in 
the final /8 block reached consensus at the APNIC 44 AMM on 14 Sep 
2017. Since that APNIC has stopped all the IPv4 transfers from 103/8 
block if the delegation date is less than 5 years.
 
However, some of the 103/8 ranges were delegated before 14 Sep 2017. 
Those resources should not be subjected to 5 years restriction. The 
community was not aware of the restriction when they received those 
resources, some of the resources have been transferred or planning to 
transfer. If APNIC is not allow those transfers to be registered, 
there will be underground transfers. This will cause incorrect APNIC 
Whois data.
 
 
2. Objective of policy change
-------------------------------------------------------
 
To keep the APNIC Whois data correct.
 
 
3. Situation in other regions
-------------------------------------------------------
 
No such situation in other regions.
 
 
4. Proposed policy solution
-------------------------------------------------------
 
“Prohibit transfer IPv4 addresses under final /8 address block (103/8)
which have not passed five years after its allocation/assignment” 
should only apply to those ranges were delegated from APNIC since 14 
Sep 2017.
 
 
5. Advantages / Disadvantages
-------------------------------------------------------
 
Advantages:
 
- Allow APNIC to register those 103/8 transfers to keep the APNIC 
  Whois data correct.
 
 
Disadvantages:
 
None.
 
 
6. Impact on resource holders
-------------------------------------------------------
 
Resource holders are allowed to transfer 103/8 ranges if the resources 
were delegated before 14 Sep 2017.
