Hi.

It would be great to allow transfers for blocks, received by means of merge and acquisition procedure of two or more different legal entities.

The reason is next: one company joins another one, but it doesn't need the blocks of the joined company.

Current policies disallow to transfer the blocks if the 24 month period didn't expire.

The NCC can mark such blocks as m&a, ma or other and allow to transfer them.

It will not cause new speculations due to there are different companies.

Dear colleagues,

Proposal 2015-04, "RIPE Resource Transfer Policies", is now in Concluding Phase.

The goal of this proposal is a single transfer policy with all relevant information on the transfer of Internet number resources, replacing text in several RIPE Policies. The proposal also introduces a 24-month holding period for IPv4 addresses and 16-bit ASNs after any change of holdership.

The WG Chair has declared that rough consensus has been reached and the proposal will now move to Last Call.

As per the RIPE Policy Development Process (PDP), the purpose of this four week Concluding Phase is to give an opportunity to present well-justified objections for those who missed the previous two phases and wish to oppose the proposal.

Any objection must be made by 9 March 2017 and must be supported by an explanation.

If no substantive objections are raised by the end of Last Call, the proposal will complete the PDP and will be evaluated by the WG Chairs for consensus.

You can find the full proposal at:

Please e-mail any final comments about this proposal to <address-policy-wg@ripe.net> before 9 March 2017.

Regards,

Marco Schmidt
Policy Development Officer
