      btw, regarding the two options I presented earlier, If you do not
      have any intention in further transferring the space within two
      years, I would recommend using the transfer procedure. <br>
      I recommend using the transfer policy because the RIPE NCC has
      updated their process for mergers and acquisitions and it's now
      (from my experience) painfully long and difficult (if you do not
      fit perfectly in their script). <br>

I think both you and Elvis are spot-on.

There are even more options than the three already mentioned...

4) If the assignments in question are made to the new spun off company's
own infrastructure (which may include separate end-users or customers if
they're single-address such as the DHCP pool of a broadband ISP, cf.
ripe-606 section 6.2), then the old company/LIR may simply delegate the
blocks to the new company by registering completely standard ASSIGNED PA
inetnums. In this case there are no minimum size limits to worry about
(sub-allocations are limited at /24, transfers at /22 as Elvis noted).

5) In the case that #4 doesn't work because the customers of the new
company have specific (non-pooled) assignments, the new company could
simply contract the old company to provide the registry services
directly for them. In other words that the old company will continue to
maintain the assignments in the database for each individual
(non-pooled) customer of the new company. This option would obviously
require a tight working relationship between the new and old companies,
as every time the new company lands a new customer, they the old company
must register the associated assignment.

Those two options, as well as the sub-allocation option, have the added
benefit that they're cheaper for the new company, as it doesn't have to
become an LIR on its own and pay the NCC membership fee.

In any case, Nigel's problem statement is very similar to the one
presented by Sascha Pollok in Athens as the rationale for 2013-05:

<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://ripe67.ripe.net/archives/video/32/">https://ripe67.ripe.net/archives/video/32/</a>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2013-05">http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2013-05</a>

Considering that 2013-05 blitzed through the PDP with hardly any
opposition, I'd say that Nigel's worry that moving around the addresses
in the manner described is considered "reprehensible" is completely
unfounded; "totally OK" would be more accurate, I think.
