I saw this restriction:
""" Allocated resources may only be transferred to another RIPE NCC member. Provider Independent resources may be transferred to:
* A RIPE NCC member; or * An entity that has a contractual relationship with a RIPE NCC member in accordance with the RIPE Policy, """
Note the difference between Allocated (PA) and Provider Independent (PI).
Is this split intentional? Would a proposal to unify both under the existing PI rules be welcome?
This split is intentional - a PA holder can only be a LIR, while a PI can be held by a LIR or by a non-LIR end user, provided they have a contractual relationship with a LIR. So unless we change the whole model of "who can hold which address space" (and abandon the PA/PI distinction while at it) the transfer policy document just reflects what address policy always required for the initial holder of a given "bag of numbers".
