    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Nigel,<br>
      <br>
      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.<br>
      <br>
      So, I would say that you have two options:<br>
      - 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.<br>
      - 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.<br>
      <br>
      cheers,<br>

      <pre wrap="">Anyone care to cast an opinion on the following question:

The company I work for is about to split off one of its country
operations into a separate company. There are various blocks in use from
various allocations to the parent company. Is it permissible to split a
PA block and transfer part of it to the new company in order to avoid
having to renumber the customers? My reading of the transfer policy is
that it is possible (if reprehensible), but I thought I'd just like to
check with the great and the good to see what opinion is.
