Hi all, I keep thinking that ripe-682 (RIPE resource transfer policies), should have a provision (as it is the case in all the other RIRs), in order to "convert" the legacy resources to non-legacy, when they got transferred.
I don't really recall if this was discussed during the relevant proposal discussion, and it will be great if someone can summarize it (I guess the author or chairs, or even the staff). I think we should consider amend that, unless the reasons it was not done at that time, persist today, or even if those reasons persist, may be the community has a different view. I think the text should be something such as: IPv4 legacy resources will no longer be regarded as legacy resources: - In the case of intra-RIR transfers. - In the case of inter-RIR, when incoming to RIPE service region. I think this is a benefit for the global community, because with that, we bring into the RIR system more and more legacy IPv4 resources, which increase the transparency and community control. In a presentation from ARIN for the 2016-2018 period it has been mention: - Overall space managed by ARIN decreased by ~14 million IPv4 addresses, due to Inter-RIR transfers - Overall ARIN issued space increased by ~30 million IPv4 addresses, due primarily to conversion of legacy space via in-region transfers Opinions?
