[address-policy-wg] A question

Hi Nigel,

As far as I understand from the policy, you can transfer a block that 
contains customer assignments. The size of the block that you would 
transfer can not be (currently) smaller than a /22.

So, I would say that you have two options:
- first - where you use the transfer policy and transfer parts of an 
allocation to an other LIR (even if it's yours, in a different country). 
In this case, the IPs transferred can not be again transferred for two 
years to an other LIR.
- second - where you sell to a separate company (parts of) your 
infrastructure (and maybe associated customers) and then you would use 
the Mergers and Acquisitions procedure. In this case, the transfer 
policy would not be used and the IPs transferred to the new company 
could then be again transferred using the transfer policy.

cheers,
elvis
