To clarify here ... although all types of number resources can be transferred.. ( AS, IPv4, IPv6 ) there are some specific resources ( like v4 for IXP usage ) are not allowed to be transferred and MUST be returned.. https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-649#61
Hmm. -649 s6.1 doesn't actually say that IXP PI must be returned and can't be transferred. At most it could be read as implied by "A /16 will be held in reserve for exclusive use by Internet Exchange Points" Even if interpreted restrictively, this would still allow transfers to other IXPs... May I suggest, though, that this statement: "Resources are excluded from transfers when RIPE Policies mandate their return to the RIPE NCC." be moved to s2.2 "Transfer Restrictions"? IMO it's a more logical place to find it if one were looking to find out whether a resource is eligible for transfer. rgds, Sascha Luck
