Hi Marco,
This means the receiving party must demonstrate how they have utilised their existing allocation or justify the need for a new one. In the case of an IPv6 allocation transfer, a successfully deployed network on that range would be considered a valid new need.
Just to be clear: "a successfully deployed network on *the range that is being transferred* would be considered a valid need” or are you talking about the recipient’s original range? Or both/either? :)
This updated approach will be applied to any new transfer request submitted from today.
Please note, this updated approach only applies to transfer requests under RIPE policies. If the change of holdership of an IPv6 allocation is due to a company merger or acquisition, the RIPE NCC will process this change in accordance with relevant RIPE NCC procedures.
Thank you! Sander
