[ppml] Policy Proposal: IPv4 Transfer Policy Proposal

[Raul Echeberria]

Geoff.

One observation.

Accepting transfers only within the region is a 
way to keep the IP addresses within the regions 
in which they were originally allocated.
I don't know if it is good or not, but a fact.

If the transfer of legacy space is also admited, 
it has a great impact in other regions, since 
most of the unused space belonging to the legacy 
blocks, will feed regional markets in the 
developed countries. This is the promotion of 
regional markets instead of global markets.

My opinion is that the regional approach to a 
global poblem that is the IPv4 deployment is not the right approach.
