The statement sounds better than before, but I am still opposed to
allowing Inter-regional transfers of IPv6 Resources.
As pointed out by others, the reasons why IPv4 and ASN transfers that are
currently permitted DO NOT exist with IPv6. These are:
1) There is a shortage of 16bit ASN numbers.
2) There is a shortage of IPv4 addresses.
However there is NO shortage of IPv6 addresses, and therefore no need to
permit RIR transfers like in the above cases.
If one has moved their assets around and now wants their resources
administered by the RIR where they have moved, let them get numbers
directly from that RIR.
Even with virtual servers, the actual server is physically in one of the
existing RIR regions, and that region is the one where resources should be
obtained in most cases. If in fact there will be a physical server move
to a different RIR region, renumbering is going to be a fact of life
anyway, unless everything is being moved at once at one time. This is
rarely done due to the downtime that such a move would incur.
I see this more as a proposal that will permit forum shopping. One does
not like the policies of RIR1, so I will take my ball (and my numbers) to
RIR2. I am opposed to permitting IPv6 transfers, especially of PA space.
Fragmentation is also going to often result if this is permitted.
