[address-policy-wg] 2012-02 New Draft Document and Impact Analysis Published (Policy for Inter-RIR Transfers of IPv4 Address Space)

* Sander Steffann

>> Each inter-RIR transfer will consist of:
>> 
>> - evaluation of RIPE Policy compliance
>> - evaluation of official documentation
>> - coordination with the other involved RIR staff
>> - updating registry entries
>> 
>> Therefore, the only additional step compared to intra-RIR
>> transfers would be the coordination with the other RIR staff.

> If I understand you correctly it comes down to:

> - If two RIRs are involved they both do their evaluation, and they
> communicate.
> 
> If correct then it comes down to sending the other RIR an e-mail
> telling them 'we're fine with this transfer' and waiting for the
> other RIR to do the same before approving the transfer. Doesn't sound
> too bad :-)

It doesn't, no. From the IA text alone I had understood that the amount
of NCC work needed to implement this proposal to be «significant». But
based on Andrew's clarification I withdraw my objection to 2012-02 and
return to the neutral category.
