Recommended Draft Policy ARIN-2018-1: Allow Inter-regional ASN Transfers

AC Assessment of Conformance with the Principles of Internet Number 
Resource Policy:

With the combination of positive community feedback and communication 
from IANA, the ARIN AC chose to recommend moving 2018-1 to a Recommended 
Draft state.  Previous concerns with RPKI are no longer an issue and are 
not a barrier to inter-RIR ASN transfers.

Problem Statement:

There is a need to allow RIR transfers of ASNs with RIRs with an 
equivalent transfer policy.

Policy Statement:

Change the first sentence in section 8.4 from:

"Inter-regional transfers may take place only via RIRs who agree to the 
transfer and share reciprocal, compatible, needs-based policies."

To:

"Inter-regional transfers of IPv4 number resources and ASNs may take 
place only via RIRs who agree to the transfer and share reciprocal, 
compatible needs-based policies."

Comments:

Timetable for implementation: Immediate
