The transcript of the APNIC 40 AMM session is available at: <a href="https://conference.apnic.net/data/40/10-Sept-AMM.txt">https://conference.apnic.net/data/40/10-Sept-AMM.txt</a> Here is the quotation with regard to this matter: "Inter-RIR transfer policy: it was one of the items which the Executive Council decided previously. We had a moratorium for the inter-RIR transfer with RIPE NCC, but at this time in the Executive Council meeting on Monday, we decided to resolve to lift -- that means discontinue -- the temporary moratorium on the inter-RIR transfers with RIPE NCC. That is the reaction that RIPE NCC recently set the new inter-RIR transfer policy to require the recipient of the transfer from the other RIR region which has the demonstrated need policy. So that helped us to lift this moratorium. So now you can transfer the IPv4 address, if you need it, with someone in the RIPE NCC region." There is also the video version available (at 58:38): <a href="https://conference.apnic.net/40/program#sessions/amm">https://conference.apnic.net/40/program#sessions/amm</a> Therefore inter-RIR transfers of IPv4 and ASNs are possible between resource holders in the APNIC and RIPE regions. Both RIRs will be cooperating in accordance with their policies.
