[address-policy-wg] Input request for the PI Transfer policy

Hi, 

 

As you might know, we are currently working on a policy proposal to allow
the transfer of PI space. 

 

One of the topics that I would like some input (prior to sending out the
proposal itself) it the following: 

 

In the current draft, I’ve phrased one of the ‘rules’ for the PI transfer as
follows:  

 

-        Assignments smaller than the minimal allocation size, can’t be
split into smaller assignments, but can be re-assigned as a complete
assignment. 

 

My reasoning is that it would disallow cutting up small assignments into
even smaller assignments. 

 

So in the current situation a /23 PI assignment is smaller than the minimal
allocation size, however assigned in the past by the RIPE NCC. 

With the above stated ‘rule’ in the proposal, it would not be allowed to
split up a PI assignment into 2 PI assignments of a /24 .. or 4 PI
assignments of a /25, but it would be allowed to do a complete
re-assignments as a /23. 

 

With the current new proposal 2014-1 put forward today, the question that we
discussed last week (myself, Marco and Andrea ) is that if we would put this
forward, that this might need to be re-phrased.  

 

The question that I have is, would the community prefer a transfer policy
proposal for PI with or without the above stated rule or limitation in
freedom in transfers of PI. 

 

The goal of the PI transfer policy proposal is to have it similar as the
current Transfer policy for PA space. 

 

Let’s hear it.  


Regards

Erik Bais
