[address-policy-wg] Confusion

Dear Aleksey,

The RIPE Document, "RIPE Resource Transfer Policies" (ripe-682), states 
that transfers between LIR accounts belonging to the same member fall 
within the scope of the RIPE Resource Transfer Policy. This means that 
resources cannot be transferred for 24 months, whether they were 
received from RIPE NCC, through a policy transfer or a change in an 
organisation's business structure:
https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-682#2-2-transfer-restrictions 
<https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-682#2-2-transfer-restrictions>

The RIPE NCC procedural document mentions this same limitation:

https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-689#transfer35 
<https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-689#transfer35>

However, resources can be transferred due to a change in an 
organisation's business structure (such as a merger or network 
acquisition) within this 24 month period IF this is supported by 
documents from a national authority.

I hope this clarifies.   Best regards, Ingrid Wijte RIPE NCC
