      ARIN Advisory Council (AC) met on 14 October 2011 and decided to <br>
      send an amended version of the following draft policy to an
      extended last call: <br>
      <br>
        ARIN-2011-1: ARIN Inter-RIR Transfers <br>
      <br>
      The AC provided the following statement: <br>
      <br>
      ******** <br>
      The Advisory Council reviewed the results of feedback from the
      ARIN <br>
      XXVIII Public Policy Meeting concerning Draft Policy 2011-1
      Inter-RIR <br>
      Transfers.  While there were concerns regarding the presented
      wording, <br>
      there was significant continued support for a policy enabling <br>
      Inter-Regional transfers of IPv4 number resources from
      organizations able to make them available to any organization with
      valid requirements. <br>
      <br>
      In addition to cumbersome wording, the presented text could not be
      <br>
      cleanly inserted into the NRPM.  The following is new language
      that <br>
      directly modifies section 8.3 "Transfers to Specified Recipients"
      to <br>
      allow such transfers to or from organizations in other regions. <br>
      <br>
      The first paragraph is a modified version of the current 8.3
      policy <br>
      language, envisioning resources being released to ARIN by the
      authorized <br>
      resources holder or additionally by another RIR to be transferred
      to a <br>
      specified recipient.  The second sentence was reorganized to
      emphasize <br>
      that it applies to an organization within the ARIN region that
      will <br>
      receive such a specified transfer, and to eliminate the single
      aggregate <br>
      language per 2011-10 which is also being sent to last call. <br>
      <br>
      The new second paragraph adds language enabling transfers to a
      specified <br>
      recipient in another RIR's service region.  This language
      specifies that <br>
      such recipients justify their need to their RIR, following that
      RIR's <br>

      <br>
      policy that the other RIR will use to evaluate the need of the
      recipient <br>
      and that both RIR's agree to the transfer. Implicit in the intent
      of <br>
      the language presented and in conformance with statements made,
      the size <br>
      of the block to be transferred is identified as /24 or larger, for
      <br>
      obvious practical reasons. <br>
      <br>
      In accordance with concern for immediate adoption, the AC chose to
      <br>
      forward this version to last call.  Concerns expressed by some <br>
      stakeholders for further controls were noted by the AC, and are
      being <br>
      considered for future policy modification, assuaged in part by

      Draft Policy ARIN-2011-1 <br>
      ARIN Inter-RIR Transfers <br>
      <br>
      Date/version: 14 October 2011 <br>
      <br>
      Policy statement: <br>
      <br>
      8.3 Transfers to Specified Recipients <br>
      <br>
      In addition to transfers under section 8.2, IPv4 number resources
      may be <br>
      released to ARIN by the authorized resource holder or another RIR,
      in <br>
      whole or in part, for transfer to another specified organizational
      <br>
      recipient.  Organizations in the ARIN region may receive
      transferred <br>
      number resources under RSA if they can demonstrate the need for
      such <br>
      resources in the amount which they can justify under current ARIN
      policies. <br>
      <br>
      IPv4 address resources may be transferred to organizations in
      another <br>
      RIR's service region if they demonstrate need to their region's
      RIR, <br>
      according to that RIR's policies. Inter-regional transfers may
      take <br>
      place only via RIRs who agree to the transfer and share
      compatible, <br>
      needs-based policies. Such resources must be transferred in blocks
      of <br>
      /24 or larger and will become part of the resource holdings of the
      <br>
      recipient RIR. <br>
