[address-policy-wg] 2012-01 New Policy Proposal (Inter-RIR IPv4 Address Transfers)

While I would strongly support the development of an inter-RIR transfer
policy (and/or cleanup of the current intra-RIR transfer policy), I don't
think this proposal is sufficiently clear and in line with other current
policy in the region to work. In other words, I oppose this proposal.
(just to be clear for the WG-chairs who are keeping count)

What I would like to see instead is a simple framework, outlining the two
options: 

1) transferring TO the RIPE NCC service region
2) transferring FROM the RIPE NCC service region

that clearly define which parts of the regular transfer policy would apply
to such a transaction. With that, we keep all the rules about transfers in
one place.

1) would be something like 'We welcome any address space transferred to
the RIPE NCC service region as long as transferring it is in line with
policies at the originating region and the entity receiving the space
qualifies as outlined in the policy for address transfers within the
service region'

2) would be something like 'You can transfer any address space to outside
the RIPE NCC service region as long as transferring it is in line with
policies at the receiving region and the address space qualifies for
transfer as outlined in the policy for address transfers within the
service region'

Finally,if you then feel unhappy with the limitations in the current
transfer policy, I would very much like to invite anyone to introduce a
policy proposal to remove them.
