Hi What’s the difference between the below description and an inter-RIR transfer policy? And as current policy text, there is no restriction on using any of RIR resource on globe level. On Mon, Mar 26, 2018 at 20:28 Martin Huněk <hunekm@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi everybody,

If this GIR runs parallel to existing RIRs and in competition with all them - that's a very good idea, I support it.
Another one IR is good idea and should be created.
GIR with RIRs - this is good idea too. GIR should be created and be independent. And members of RIR should have ability where to have there resources support.
I support.
I don't think that it is such a good idea. First of all, I can see the problem of such organizations which resident in multiple RIR regions, however I do think that I can be solved by bilateral agreement between current RIRs, rather than creating "GIR" (something between IANA and current RIRs.
I can also see that someone might see it as an opportunity to get yet another resources, which they cannot from current RIRs. However there is no more IPv4 in IANA pool, so we would have to talk about IPv6 only "GIR" with only 32b ASN (in contrast with LACNIC policy text). And when I look at IPv6 policies at RIPE region (at least), there are quite open-minded with their allocation size.
So do we really need yet another RIR? In my opinion No. It would solve just marginal problem which does have simpler solution.
The solution might be an Inter-RIR status (e.g. source: RIPE-INTER-RIR) based upon agreement between LIR and multiple RIRs (in which case the resources would be assigned/allocated from one of them).
Example: 1) AfriNIC based LIR would like to operate part of its network in RIPE region 2) LIR asks AfriNIC for approval to operate outside of RIR region and provides documentation with reasoning and corresponding RIR in which region LIR would like to operate 3) AfriNIC decides if the LIR's proposal is fine. 4) AfriNIC asks RIPE: Is it OK? May that LIR in this case operate this network in your region? 4) If both RIRs agrees on LIR's proposal, the AfriNIC marks LIR's resources accordingly (like moving it to separate DB or something like operates in: RIPE)
Certainly no RIR would volunteer their IPv4 pool to new "GIR" as LACNIC proposal suggest and there is no more "global" IPv4 pool available...
