21. Inter-RIR transfer policy discussion
The EC considered the Inter-RIR transfer policy discussions (attached).
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.

+1, does this also include transfers to CNNIC? The ARIN->RIPE direction seems like an odd one to be concerned about. Best, -M<
