We've had some discussions about this within Japan too (in our own OPM),
and there was most support for having "no restrictions" to the tranfer.
The basic feelings of ISPs in JP is that having no restrictions is most
preferable but option "B" or "C" is also acceptable (no strong
preference over which one) if some form of restriction is considered
necessary in the APNIC forum.
The bottom line is that if there is to be a restriction, we'd like to
ensure the source of the transfer will not be totally banned from
requesting for subsequent allocations from APNIC.
FYI, we've taken the vote counts to see preference of the community and
the results were:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Should Add some form of restrictions
------------------------------------------------------------------------
yes : 13
no : 32
------------------------------------------------------------------------
If there is to be a restriction, which option should be adopted?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
option A (original prop-050) : 0
option B (seiichi's suggestion) : 20
option C (terry's suggestion) : 18
