Needs a _lot_ more discussion.
1) The impact analysis implies that this applies to RIPE LIRs getting PA/legacy IP space from non-RIPE RIRs. As I understand the text, this is not the case. The proposal merely deals with transfer of RIPE PA/legacy IP space to non-RIPE LIRs.
Please read the policy proposal more thoroughly. The wording change to the existing policy only covers "to non-RIPE LIRs" (indeed), but there's a whole new document, the "Inter-RIR transfer policy" - which covers to and from RIPE, starting after the block "[Following text will result in a new RIPE Policy Document ?Policy for Inter-RIR Transfers of IPv4 address space?, if the proposal reaches consensus.]" (The wording change to the existing RIPE IPv4 policy document is needed to avoid a conflict between the new document and the existing policy) Section 2.0 of that new document starts with: "2.0 Transferring IPv4 address space to the RIPE NCC service region" which I find very much to cover "to the RIPE NCC service region"...? [..]
2) What are the requirements so that another RIR's policy is seen as "compatible inter-RIR transfer policy"? Who defines this and where?
"We permit transfers to RIPE NCC, and transfers from the RIPE NCC, when certain (locally defined) conditions are met" = compatible "We do not permit transfers outside our region" = "incompatible" Explained in more details in the new policy document...
3) "Increases the supply of IPv4 addresses available to RIPE NCC LIRs"
Again, I can not see this in the wording of the PDP. If anything, this decreases the available pool. I am not saying this is good or bad, merely stating a fact.
