[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2019-4: Allow Inter-regional IPv6 Resource Transfers

Jordi,

No problem, what I'm asking the community is if people support the
use-cases you brought up. If they do, it seems like those use-cases need to
be added to the problem statement. In my opinion, the current problem
statement seems overly focused on the RPKI issue even to the point where it
could be implying RPKI is the only reason you might want to transfer IPv6
resources to another region.

I'd propose the following rewrite of the problem statement;

There are operational reasons to allow transfers of IPv6 resources between
RIRs with an equivalent transfer policy.

ARIN’s RPKI Trust Anchor (TA) is measurably less widely deployed than TAs
from other RIRs. As a consequence, RPKI ROAs published through ARIN offer
less value. Operators seeking to extract the most value from their
investment in IPv6 would benefit from the ability to transfer IPv6
resources to RIRs with more widely deployed RPKI Trust Anchors.

Apart from RPKI, an organization may wish to consolidate or manage the
entirety of their resources, including IPv6, via a single RIR. For example,
after acquiring an entity in another region or being acquired by an entity
based in another region.

Or, an organization may wish to move its resources, including IPv6, to more
accurately reflect where their resources are now in use. For example, if
the organization is no longer operating within the ARIN region, it seems
reasonable to move its resources to a region where they continue to operate.


Comments or suggestions, please.

Thanks
