Last month I brokered a sale of legacy ARIN space to a customer in the APNIC region using the Inter-RIR transfer policies in place in both regions. As we know, ARIN has the lion's share of IPv4 space, and this proposal would open the door to this source of address space for buyers in Europe. For sellers of RIPE space, this proposal provides another market or two to sell into. I believe a viable global transfer market in IPv4 addresses will assist in what appears to be a lengthy transition to IPv6 by making available underutilized address space and equalizing transition pressure around the world.
I support the proposal.
Mike, 2012-03 does not open for transfers from the other four regions. It applies exclusively to transfers taking place within the RIPE NCC service region. Best regards, -- Tore Anderson Redpill Linpro AS - http://www.redpill-linpro.com/
