In effect, this proposal enables a market for buying and selling IP address blocks.
It is envisioned that this market is going to happen, whether we like it or not, and there is not much we can do against it. But in the case that this *is* going to happen, we would very much prefer to have accurate records on who is holding the address space - and this proposal is trying to build the basis for this. (We already have the means for resource transfers between LIRs, it's part of the "merger and closures" document, but it's not very well-defined in the case of two independent LIRs doing this without any "merger or closure").
