Would existing RIPE policy and practice allow the transfer of non-RSA legacy space currently registered in the ARIN database to a recipient in the RIPE region? The policy text would seem to allow it: "Any LIR is allowed to re-allocate complete or partial blocks of IPv4 address space that were previously allocated to them by either the RIPE NCC or the IANA." I guess it might require an ERX-style transfer of the original IANA assignment to RIPE's administrative control first? Has anyone attempted such a transfer yet, I wonder? -Scott On Mon, Mar 25, 2013 at 2:16 PM, Milton L Mueller <mueller at syr.edu> wrote: > OK. Your point is clearer now.
