Brokers
It is up to members to find and organise a transfer of IPv4 address space. How they decide to do this is up to them. The RIPE NCC will not be involved in the process of reaching an agreement between the parties participating in the transfer of IPv4 address space. The responsibility for reaching an agreement rests solely with the offering and receiving parties.
Some members may decide to use a broker to find an organisation offering or seeking address space and to help facilitate the process by advising on the procedures and policies that need to be followed.
Whatever the case, it is important that anyone involved in IPv4 transfers understands the relevant RIPE Policies and that any transfers are reflected in the registry.
Brokers who are facilitating the transfer of IPv4 address space are welcome to contact the RIPE NCC for clarification and can email ncc _at_ ripe _dot_ net to find out more. There are no costs involved in becoming a Recognised IPv4 Transfer Broker. However, you will need to agree to adhere to the relevant RIPE Policies and RIPE NCC procedural documents, which can be found in the document store.
