Dear AP WG,
in the heated discussion about 2013-03 ("no need"), I think this proposal might have escaped your attention.

A proposed change to RIPE Policy Document ripe-592, "IPv4 Address Allocation and Assignment Policies for the RIPE NCC Service Region", is now available for discussion.
You can find the full proposal at:
This is an amendment to the transfer policy which solves real-world problems for real-world LIRs - namely: abandon the requirement that a transferred block of addresses must be empty, because that conflicts with real-world scenarios, like a customer of a given LIR opening his own LIR later on, both parties agree to transfer the addresses the customer uses to the new LIR (= the customer's LIR of the customer using the addresses already), and the NCC then tells them "no, you can't do that".
The proposal is in *discussion* phase, so if you want to discuss, now is the time. (If you just "+1" it, that's also a clear signal :-) ).
I think this is actually quite sensible, so +1 Nigel
