[address-policy-wg] question about IPv4 legacy and transfers - should we convert legacy to non-legacy with transfers?

You're right for addresses not being transferred. This is the same in other RIRs if those resources aren't transferred.

What I'm suggesting will only be useful for those addresses that want to be transferred (within or to RIPE), but that's still sufficiently useful, in my opinion.

If legacy holders, want to transfers those resources and escape from fulfilling the policies and contractual requirements, now they can do it in RIPE, but not in other regions.

In my opinion this is bad for RIPE, because it means we may end up having here more and more non-policy/contractual-bound resources than the other regions that have this provision.

In only see good thing doing that, and nothing bad, if we as a community want to have as much as possible everybody engaged with the same rules.

    We have no contractual leverance to do anything to "legacy" addresses.
    
    These are addresses that were assigned outside the RIR system, so there
    exists no contracts with any RIR, and no way we can use our policies to 
    make the holders do something "we want them to do".
    
    We can entice them to bring their space into the umbrella of RIPE DB
    documentation (by offering ROAs, for example) - and this is what we do
    today.
