Hi all, I wanted to understand the current status of Inter-RIR transfers in the RIPE region. The website for the policy being proposed: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2012-02 States that the current phase is: "Review Phase: Awaiting Decision from Working Group Chair", but that the current phase ends on 17 April 2013 - over a year ago. The 'inter-RIR transfers' section of http://www.ripe.net/lir-services/resource-management/ipv4-transfers refers back to the policy above. Given that RIPE has run out of resources, is it really not allowing other RIR's with a conditional policy like ARIN ( https://www.arin.net/resources/request/transfers_8_4.html) not to transfer into the region? APNIC does not have this restriction, but should have the same condition if an RIR doesn't have a reciprocal policy in place. Thoughts? ...Skeeve *Skeeve Stevens - Senior IP Broker* *v4Now - *an eintellego Networks Business skeeve@v4now.com ; www.v4now.com Phone: 1300 239 038; Cell +61 (0)414 753 383 ; skype://skeeve facebook.com/v4now ; <http://twitter.com/networkceoau> linkedin.com/in/skeeve twitter.com/theispguy ; blog: www.theispguy.com IP Address Brokering - Introducing sellers and buyers
