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.

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