[arin-ppml] Draft policy ARIN-2013-1 Section 8.4 Inter-RIR transfers of ASNs

[Scott Leibrand]

PPML,

At our last meeting, the ARIN AC accepted ARIN-prop-183 Section 8.4
Transfer enhancement as a draft policy.  It has been given Draft Policy
number ARIN-2013-1, and retitled as "Section 8.4 Inter-RIR transfers of
ASNs".  The revision currently under discussion is below.

If you haven't expressed an opinion yet, or if you have any updated
feedback based on the updated text, please speak up.  A version of this
policy will be up for discussion in Barbados, either as a Draft policy or a
Recommended Draft Policy (depending on the outcome of tomorrow's AC
meeting).

Thanks,
Scott

Policy Proposal Name: Section 8.4 Inter-RIR transfers of ASNs

Proposal Originator: Martin Hannigan

Proposal Version: 1.2

Date: 19 Mar 2013

Proposal type: MODIFY

Policy term: PERMANENT

Policy statement:


Modify the following text in Section 8.4

Add "or ASNs to be transferred, as" to the first bullet point under
Conditions on source of the transfer, so that it reads:

"The source entity must be the current rights holder of the IPv4 address
resources or ASNs to be transferred, as recognized by the RIR responsible
for the resources, and not be involved in any dispute as to the status of
those resources."

Change "IPv4 number resources" to "IPv4 number resources or ASNs", so that
the fourth bullet point reads:

"Source entities within the ARIN region must not have received a transfer,
allocation, or assignment of that same resource type (IPv4 number resource
or ASN) from ARIN for the 12 months prior to the approval of a transfer
request. This restriction does not include M&A transfers."


Rationale:

We already allow transfer of ASNs within the ARIN region. The change will
accomplish two things. First there is inconsistent language in 8.4 eg "IPv4
Address" v. "IPv4 Number Resource(s)" and second, it will allow the
transfer of ASNs between RIRs through 8.4 and using the standards we have
already established for IPv4 transfers. For many of the same reasons that
we allow transfer of IP addresses, we should allow transfers of ASNs and to
help insure that idle resources are both recovered and utilized efficiently
and where needed, and to allow the registry to be updated to reflect who is
actually using which ASNs.

Version 1.1 changes the title, clarifies the resulting policy language
slightly, and explicitly includes the resulting policy language in the
policy statement.

Version 1.2 clarifies that the 12-month restriction on having received a
transfer, allocation, or assignment applies separately to IPv4 number
resources and ASNs.
