Tore Anderson stated I am really struggling with this sentence: ?Other than for an additional allocation, for the purpose of determining need, a period of 24 months is used in evaluating a transferred allocation.? The intent is that 24 months should be the the period for all allocations. I will change the wording to: A period of 24 months is used in evaluating a transferred allocation. Tore also stated: Another thing I am wondering about, is the new 24 month period. Prior to ?Run Out Fairly?, the period was 12 months. This was determined by 2006-06, which intended to harmonise the need period across the five regions. With that in mind, I would like to see why 24 months was chosen. Is 2006-06's rationale no longer valid? What are the need periods currently used for allocation transfers in the other regions? The need period in the ARIN region is 24 months and the need period in the APNIC region is 12 months. Thanks, Sandra Brown IPv4 Market Group sandrabrown@ipv4marketgroup.com
