As for 2015-04, I oppose it as it tries yet again to bring M&A under policy regulation (s. 2.2) which the community has no business doing.
Please educate me why the community has no business doing this. I would have thought that was well within scope for the address policy.
In market-based economies, M&As -including the disposal of assets- are a matter for the parties involved and, occasionally, a state regulator, which the NCC is NOT. It is unthinkable in such a society that business decisions are subject to the whim of random people on a mailing list. The RIPE NCC recognises that and puts M&A firmly outside policy. Where it should remain unless the desire is that every transfer application or M&A notification start with filing suit against the NCC. rgds, Sascha Luck
