I need a small clarification.
The Caribbean region has 3 RIRs
St Lucia is ARIN, Trinidad is LACNIC and Martinique is RIPE
If my base is arin and offer wholesale services to same geo. Region
countries.. Trinidad (lacnic) and Martinique (Ripe), do i need 3 separate
AS numbers?

Why would there be a need for a company to transfer an ASN between RIRs?

ARIN-2018-1: Allow Inter-regional ASN Transfers
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.1802030743470.21499 at localhost.localdomain>
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed
I can only really think of three:
1) A company is relocating its headquarters from a location served by an
RIR, to another location served by a different RIR, and wants everything
in their new home region.
2) A company decides to buy another company with few assets, but holds a
16 bit ASN in another RIR region. They then want to bring that ASN back
to ARIN so they can add it to their registration plan. This is similar to
M&A of companies with IPv4 addresses as assets, since they can not get a
16 bit ASN directly from ARIN.
3) They have so much equipment scattered around the world with the old
ASN, that they do not want to renumber just because their headquarters
moved to a region served by a different RIR. If the region moved to is
ARIN, in most cases they can save money by putting the moved ASN on their
registration plan with their address space.
In any case, if ARIN allows transfers, it is highly unlikely that that
policy would ever be applied to anything other than a 16 bit ASN as there
are plenty of 32 bit ASN's available in all regions.

All three scenarios apply equally to 16 and 32 bit ASNs. If it?s easier for
everyone involved to transfer an ASN between RIRs along with any IPv4
resources, there?s no reason to renumber (which requires cooperation from
BGP peers).
