Dear Chris, Your objection to the current transfer policy as accepted by the RIPE community is noted. However, I don't think it relates to this policy proposal. If you feel strongly about changing (or removing, for that matter) the current transfer policy, I suggest you launch a separate policy proposal to do just that. Kind regards, Remco van Mook Director of Interconnection, EMEA remco.vanmook@eu.equinix.com +31 61 135 6365 MOB EQUINIX 51-53 Great Marlborough Street London, W1F 7JT, United Kingdom On 09-05-12 15:29, "chrish@consol.net" <chrish@consol.net> wrote:

this proposal doesn't fit with the current hierarchical structure of rirs and lirs. if this hierarchical structure is to be changed, this would be an essential change. introducing such a change in just a subordinate procedure isn't the way to go. i can't see a justification or explanation why the rir/lir hierarchical structure should be changed.
furthermore this proposal is incompatible with policy - with the current one, and as it doesn't change the incompatibilities also with the proposed changed policy. i don't think it's reasonable to try to drop the primacy of fair and according to need distribution of ip-space.
as the readers of this ml certainly know, the proposed change is actually meant to facilitate the trade of ips, this way implying (well - trying to imply) the change to ips as an asset (with a plethora of further adverse consequences).
i formally voice strong and sustained opposition.
i'd suggest that inter-rir transfers simply take the canonical way: from current lir, back to current lir's rir, to target lir's rir, to the target lir.
regards,
Chris
