If this is the case, then why does https://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2012-02 say:
"Any LIR is allowed to re-allocate complete or partial blocks of IPv4 address space that were previously allocated to them by either the RIPE NCC or the IANA."
?
Well, to be precise, that's not something 2012-02 adds, but is in the policy text since transfers have been added. (2012-02 rephrases the first sentence of the second paragraph of 5.5, which this is not) I can only speculate on the original author's motives, but I think it's not wrong to *permit* something which might become relevant eventually, should an ERX holder decide to bring their address space "under the umbrella of the RIPE NCC", however the specifics might look like, 10 years later... (ncc-services is working on a proposal for interaction between the early address holders and the RIPE NCC). Gert Doering -- APWG chair -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...?
