Call it the transfer GPL: I ask that the receipient registry's outbound transfer policy be little more onerous than our own, but at the same time sufficiently diligent as to prevent addresses from eventually landing at a registry which either directly prevents outbound transfers or engages such onerous practices as effectively prevent outbound transfers.
A transfer GPL is relatively straightforward; i.e. a set of common requirements that a transfer policy must meet to be deemed compliant. The key thing is that each transfer in a sequence should comply with the rules of every registry in the sequence, not just the two registries involved in that particular step. I have read the above sentence several times, and do hope that you do not intend its plain meaning. I would hope instead you mean - “The key thing is that each transfer in a sequence should be approved by registries whose transfer policy meets the transfer common requirements.” The cooldown timer resolves this by simply saying: there shall be no sequence of transfers leading outregion. You have to hold and use the addresses long enough that the next transfer is independent. The requirement is that "key" paragraph. The long timer is one mechanism which contributes to meeting the requirement. So is safe to presume that you wish a long hold timer for the common transfer requirements? I would set hard requirements on -how- they achieve that effect only if there's no other practical way to assure that they -do- achieve that effect. To allow each registry its own approach to the problem than requires that each registry review the approach used by the other and decide if they will accept it, and then communicate that to the others. This is an (n)! situation and does not appear practice (as opposed to simply establishing a clear reference approach which can be readily and independently confirmed. Thoughts? Answered, and I stand by to refine and clarify as needed. One would hope so, as you may be headed into a policy proposal of remarkable complexity... /John John Curran President and CEO ARIN
