I am strongly opposed to  Proposal  171,  because it codifies unfair
preferential treatment for holders with legacy resources, eg  ICP-2:
"neutrality and impartiality in relation to all interested parties.
All organisations that receive service from the new RIR must be
treated equally."

"8.4.1  ...Legacy IPv4 number resources and ASN's may be transferred
to organizations in any RIR's service region."

This proposed section provides unequal treatment, because it means
"Legacy resource holders" will be enabled to transfer resources to any
service region;  whereas holders of non-Legacy resources will be
restricted from transferring their resources,  to specific service
regions that have a compatible  justified-need based policy.

"8.4.3 Needs Assessments and Utilization Requirements ... Needs
assessments and utilization requirements for legacy number resources
and ASN's are waived."

This proposed section provides unequal treatment,  because  needs
assessments are required for everyone else,  but   not resource
holders  transferring legacy resources.
