The main problem I see is that this policy for the first time will
open the door up to IPv6 transfers. I do not agree with IPv6 transfers.
Me either
Up to this point, the primary reason why we allow transfers of IPv4
and 16 bit ASN numbers is the shortage of these resources.
In the case of IPv6 addresses, there is no shortage, therefore I do
not think we need to be going down that road.
Exactly.
If the policy was limited to IPv4 and 16 bit ASN's, I would not have a
problem if indeed the business has moved to another region. However,
I do not want to see this policy being used for forum shopping. I do
not want to see the "I do not like the policies of RIR A, so I am
taking my ball (and my numbers) to RIR B"
That seems to be the environment some people seems to be trying to turn
things into. Kind of "It is like this now", "The market demands",
"People ask for it", while in true is is only in the interest of a small
part of them.
But the argument of people not liking the policies of RIR A willing to
move to RIR B is the strongest one in my view. Should never be like this
in this ecosystem.

Hello PPML,
The Advisory Council is seeking statements of support or opposition
to the below draft policy, which so far have not been seen on PPML.
I’d advise the community to consider the following questions:
1. Is the problem statement a valid and/or likely occurrence that
would require a change of policy to address?
2. Is the proposed text to address the problem statement a valid
means to do so? Are there other approaches the community would like
the AC to consider?
3. Is there any potential deleterious impact should this language be
adopted into the NRPM?
We look forward to hearing the community’s response.
Thank you,
-Chris Woodfield

Draft Policy ARIN-2019-10: Inter-RIR M&A
Problem Statement:
Merger, acquisition, or reorganization activity sometimes results in
a restructuring where company resources, the management of number
resources, or the use of number resources are concentrated outside
the ARIN service region. In this case it may be desirable for the
current legal entity or a legal entity that is a parent, child or
sister to move the servicing of the number resources to a different
RIR.
Example:
Imagine a case where a global company has decided to discontinue
service in the ARIN service region (shuttering ARIN region offices
laying off ARIN region employees, and canceling ARIN region
customers) and repurpose the network resources and number resources
in the rest of its global footprint.
Imagine a case where a global company has decided to divest its
service in the ARIN region (selling all ARIN region offices, all
ARIN region network assets, all ARIN service region customers, all
number resources used in the ARIN (associated with previous noted
sale of network and customers), but retaining ARIN issued resources
in use outside of the ARIN service region.
Policy Statement:
Add to section 8.2:
When merger, acquisition, or reorganization activity results in
surviving legal entity that is incorporated outside the ARIN service
region, or focused outside the ARIN service region, or is merging
with an organization that already has a relationship with another
RIR, then resources may be moved to another RIR in accordance with
the receiving RIR’s policies.
