Dear Tore,
Quoting from 2012-05's impact analysis:
«It is worth mentioning that the RIPE NCC is willing to publish details on resource transfers and a report has not been requested so far. Only one transfer has been recorded in the RIPE NCC service region recently, and this is why no details on resource transfers have been published so far.»
I'm hereby requesting the details on the transfer mentioned. In particular, I'd like to know the date of the transfer, which specific prefix(es) it involved, and the origin and destination LIRs. I'd like this information in order to try to confirm my belief that this information is possible to extract from the stats files already available on the FTP.
Also, if there has been more transfers since the impact analysis was written, I'd like to see their details, as well. If possible, I would prefer to see a daily updated (and easy to parse) text file with all the transfers and their details being made available on the FTP.
Publishing this information as a daily updated file on our FTP or web site is most likely the format that the RIPE NCC would prefer as well. However, given this proposal and the discussion around it, we would prefer to wait until it reaches a conclusion before publishing. We already publish various files that reflect the state of the RIPE registry: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/pub/stats/ripencc/ ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/stats/membership/alloclist.txt ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/split/ Comparing different versions of these files will show any transfers that were done under the transfer policy. It would however also show the results of the various types of mergers, acquisitions and divestments that also happen on a regular basis. I hope this answers your questions for now.
