Hi Gert, Opposed. I see this as potentially creating a good deal of admin overhead for the RIRs, which will impact all LIRs, while the upside will only be for those few who want to further commoditise Internet numbering resources. the relevant bits of the impact analysis are quoted below: "C. Impact of Policy on RIPE NCC Operations/Services Registration Services: It is very relevant to note that the implementation of this policy proposal will require a significant effort of co-ordination between the RIPE NCC and the other RIRs. It is unclear at the moment how much time and resources will be needed to fully implement the proposal. . . D. Legal Impact of Policy If this policy proposal will be accepted, the RIPE NCC will need to create appropriate legal procedures and template agreements in order for all parties to understand and agree on the preconditions and the consequences of the transfer in accordance with the provisions of this policy." -- Cheers, McTim "A name indicates what we seek. An address indicates where it is. A route indicates how we get there." Jon Postel On Mon, Mar 11, 2013 at 8:47 AM, Gert Doering <gert@space.net> wrote:

We encourage you to read the draft document text and send any comments to address-policy-wg@ripe.net before 18 March 2013.
Let me remind you again that we need your explicit voice of support if you want to see this proposal implemented. (If you do *not* want that, an explicit voice of opposition would be helpful, too).
"No response" is making our lives as WG chairs somewhat difficult - it will lead to "extention of the review period", and then after some more months to "asking the proposer to drop the proposal due to lack of support"...
Gert Doering -- APWG chair -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...?
