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

    Thank you for clarifying. I don't believe this «unfairness» rationale had been mentioned before.
    
    Others have explained how the legacy resources were given out with no RIR policy strings attached. You could make the opposite argument too, i.e., that it would be unfair behaviour by the RIPE community to try and retroactively annex legacy space in this way by unilaterally applying terms and conditions that were never agreed to in the first place.

-> We agree here. It may be considered unfair in one direction or the other one. It depends on the perspective.
    
    In any case, and to be perfectly honest, this rationale reads to like petty jealousy to me - «I can't do X with my RIPE ALLOCATED PA, so I don't want others to be able to do X either».

-> I don't have resources of any type (legacy neither non-legacy) in any RIR, so my view is trying to be as objective as possible and looking for the fairness of the more global community.
    
    I don't believe this kind of policy making is good for the community. I suspect the opposite is true, by turning legacy holders off from engaging with us. Keep in mind that they are under no obligation to do so.

-> I guess it is not still clear enoght. This doesn't affect legacy holders. It is only affecting the resources once they got transferred.
    
    A more positive way to approach this perceived unfairness would be to focus on what X is, and see if the RIPE policy can be changed to permit it.
