Hi Nick, Tore, thanks indeed for pointing that out. On Tue, Mar 10, 2015 at 03:36:41PM +0000, Nick Hilliard wrote:
The EC unanimously resolved to place a temporary moratorium on inter RIR transfer with RIPE NCC, pending discussions and confirmation with APNIC, ARIN and RIPE communities that such transfers will not change APNIC???s status as sharing reciprocal, compatible, needs-based policy with ARIN.
Motion proposed by Paul Wilson, seconded by Akinori Maemura.
Could someone from APNIC, ARIN or both explain the background to this decision? I haven't seen any discussions in the RIPE community about this, and without knowing the background it seems peculiar that APNIC feels it necessary to consult ARIN about APNIC->RIPE NCC resource transfers.
This is interesting on so many aspects, like - put a moratorium on what? There are no transfers APNIC->RIPE NCC yet, because we do not have a policy to receive them (it is in last call, true, but not policy yet) - even if we had a policy, we have clear statements that the way we have phrased our text is compatible with ARIN's requirement for needs-based on the receiving side - so very curious indeed...
