prop-130: Modification of transfer policies

Existing transfer policies for IPv4, IPv6 and ASN resources have some differences among what is allowed and what not, if in the case of intra-RIR and inter-RIR, and it is not clear if in case of merger and acquisitions it is referring to a complete company, part of it, or even if in case of a company reorganization or relocation, the policy is supportive to that case.

To ensure that the policy text is clarified, if those cases are supported by the community. It will also facilitate companies or business units, moving or being established in other regions.

Possible difficulties in verifying mergers, acquisition, reorganization, or relocation from out of APNIC region due to unfamiliarity of languages and legal systems.

The NRO comparative policy matrix indicates APNIC Members outside of the region must have network presence in the Asia Pacific. Additionally, some RIRs have an ‘out of region’ policy which restricts where they can use their resources.

Members may face difficulties updating their domain objects if there has been a partial IPv6 transfer where a larger block has been de-aggregated.

APNIC’s current systems are not configured to handle inter-RIR IPv6 reverse DNS. This will need to be developed.

APNIC cannot predict when other RIRs will support IPv6 reverse DNS fragments incoming to their systems.

This will affect how APNIC verifies M&A documents. May require cross RIR coordination.

Implementation: 6 months

Prop-130-v003

• Possible difficulties in verifying mergers, acquisition, reorganization, or relocation from out of APNIC region due to unfamiliarity of languages and legal systems. May require cross RIR coordination.
• Partial IPv6 transfers may result in registration of IPv6 allocations that are more specific than /32.
• APNIC’s current systems are not configured to handle inter-RIR IPv6 reverse DNS. This will need to be developed.
• APNIC cannot predict when other RIRs will support IPv6 reverse DNS fragments incoming to their systems.
• Implementation: 3 months, except inter-RIR IPv6 reverse DNS (rDNS).
