Re: [sig-policy] Last Call for Comments on prop-050: IPv4 address transf
I'm having trouble sending to the list. this is a resend.
appoligies if you get two.

Hi all,
I expressed my support at the policy-sig meeting, and
I will express my support here again.
Prior versions of this proposal had some safeguards to prevent that kind
of thing, but it looks like all of those were removed in this version.
Yes, they were removed at APNIC27 because some fair amount of
people were against the ineligibility rule.
And while I do have the same worries as you,
http://www.apnic.net/policy/add-manage-policy.html#8.4
according to the above document, it says in section 9.4
"the LIR's verified usage rate (which is the rate at which the LIR made
assignments and sub-allocations from relevant past allocations, including
historical allocations);"
a transfer is neither an assignment nor a sub-allocation.
so usage rate for such loopholers would be very very low wouldn't it?
there may be a need to clarify such issues however.
regards,
seiichi
Can anyone tell me what in this policy proposal would prevent an
organization from transferring address space, turning around and
requesting more space from APNIC, transferring that space, etc. etc.?
This seems like a loophole big enough to use to corner the IPv4 address
market, and drain both the APNIC and IANA free pools in a very short time.
Prior versions of this proposal had some safeguards to prevent that kind
of thing, but it looks like all of those were removed in this version.

Dear colleagues
This is the final call for comments on policy proposal prop-050, "IPv4
address transfers".
This proposal was presented at APNIC 27 and was accepted by consensus.
An updated version of the proposal that contained the elements that
reached consensus during APNIC 27 was sent to this mailing list earlier

The proposal is now being submitted to the Policy SIG mailing list for
an eight-week discussion period. At the end of that period, if consensus
appears to have been achieved, the Policy SIG Chair will ask the
Executive Council to endorse the proposal for implementation.
