Hi, i don't know if it's not to late to comment some points in general.. I would suggest to relax the restrictions of a transfer. The restriction were introduced because there were many new LIRs who wanted to grep one of the last IPv4 subnets only to have/sell them. So i think there should be a relaxed solution for longstanding LIRs. Sure, it could be that they request their last /22 only in mind to sell it. But is it really a realistic vision?! However, a transfer within a a group of companies which belongs together should be allowed or at least it should be possible to differ from the strict policies and check the individual case. We have currently the case that we wanted to transfer our last /22 (which were allocated last march) to our 100% subsidiary in the US but it's not possible because of the restrictions. Although we already use two /24 of the /22 there. I don't expect that there will be a near-term solution but i think it's worth to think about it for the future.

Dear colleagues,

The draft documents for version 3.0 of the policy proposal 2015-04, "RIPE Resource Transfer Policies" have now been published, along with an impact analysis conducted by the RIPE NCC.

The goal of this proposal is to create a single document with all relevant information regarding the transfer of Internet number resources.

Some of the differences from version 2.0 include:

- clarification in the policy text about entities that can receive a transfer - further clarification in the policy text and policy summary regarding the 24-month holding period for scarce resources

You can find the full proposal and the impact analysis at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2015-04

And the draft documents at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2015-04/draft

We encourage you to read the draft document and send any comments to <address-policy-wg@ripe.net> before 3 March 2016.

Regards

Marco Schmidt Policy Development Officer RIPE NCC
