Hi Sander, I was referring to inter-RIR transfers, sorry not having been more explicit. I understand that the previous policies were only intra-RIR. The actual ones are both intra and inter. I don't think it is a matter of respect previous rights, because in that case, when we do *any* policy change, we may be not respecting the "previous rights" (conceded by the previous policy), of some members. The PDP is about the good of the overall community even if some times, some decisions aren't the best for the 100%.

A legal entity can have zero, one or more LIRs. You are saying that we can abuse the contract that we have with those with one or more LIRs to force them into a position that we don't apply to those with zero LIRs? Also: when I have multiple LIRs, which LIR should get the legacy resources? And if I can choose which LIR, then I choose "none". > 639 was defined a couple of years before the transfers policy. It may be perfectly possible that at that time it was not considered this aspect. This is incorrect. We have had transfers since RIPE-441 from December 2008. The choices around transfers were very consciously made. > I know that every region is different, but we live in a global Internet, and it is surprising to me that we are the only out of 5 RIRs, that has not done this already. RIPE has respect for the rights of the people who came before it :) Sander ********************************************** IPv4 is over Are you ready for the new Internet ? http://www.theipv6company.com The IPv6 Company This electronic message contains information which may be privileged or confidential.
