[address-policy-wg] 2016-03 Discussion Period extended until 15 July 2016 (Locking Down the Final /8 Policy)

Hi Remco,

I'm still thinking this through, but a few questions jumped out at me, which imply there is still wordsmithing required.

Given that the wording implies retroactively applying to everything previously allocated in 185/8, what will happen to those ALLOCATED FINAL allocations that have already been transferred? And where there are already multiple such ALLOCATED FINAL allocations within a single LIR?

What is the policy for Merger & Acquisition with respect to ALLOCATED FINAL allocations as opposed to resource transfer?

Ian

Thank you Marco.

Dear all,

I would encourage everyone to carefully read this second version (and not just respond "no, still hate it, kill it with fire") as it is quite different from the first version.

Basically the only restriction left is to disallow transfers on all "last /8 space"* going forward, and there is some language added to the policy that tries to raise awareness that if you just go and parcel out that entire allocation to endusers, you might end up feeling a little bit silly a couple of years from now.

Looking forward to a positive discussion,

Remco

* any suggestions for a better title for this space are most welcome as well
