Hi Gert, I know we aren't ARIN and I've used that only as an example of the results of that provision.
My personal view but looking for the good of the community is that it is better to get rid ASAP of the "legacy" status for as much resources we can, so they are fully part of the policy system. I think it is difficult to have a better opinion on this without understanding if I'm missing something from the original proposal discussion on this aspect.

What is it that you want to achieve with this? Legacy resources can be converted to PA today, if the holder wants that, but this is orthogonal to whether or not a transfer happened. > 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. Legacy resources that are documented in the RIPE database *are* transparently documented today. Those get updated in a transfer, even if still "legacy". For legacy resources that are transferred outside RIPE NCC control, there is no lever to force the holders to do anything. > 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? We're not ARIN :-) - we have our own set of "how to deal with legacy addresses and address holders" policies, and they seem to serve us reasonably well. So: what is the problem that you want to address? Gert Doering -- APWG chair -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...? SpaceNet AG Vorstand: Sebastian v.
