[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2019-10: Inter-RIR M&A

[Fernando Frediani]

Well, I can't see how allowing IPv6 transfers or not can be compared to 
a 'feature' and discourage people to adopt it or not. If they do this 
based on this premise it is much worse for them than for the rest of the 
internet. And going beyond as it is normally discussed in these policy 
lists it is out of the scope of a policy to force or not IPv6 adoption.

About RIR 'competing' there should never be anything like that. RIRs are 
never there to compete between themselves, they are not companies that 
distribute profits in the way people are used to think. RIRs operate in 
a very different way and must be kept apart from practices that can bend 
their capacity to do a proper work within their functions.
