2023-03 Voluntary Transfer Lock
Colleagues, It is four weeks since the end of the discussion phase of 2023-03. During the discussion phase there was no support expressed on the ncc-services-wg list for the policy proposal. Since the end of the discussion phase a small amount of support has been expressed, as well as several questions relating to why this was being handled via the PDP rather than as an NCC process. During the WG meeting in Belgrade, Athina commented that the NCC believed that denying members a service that existed in policy (transfers) was not something the NCC had done before and the NCC believed that without a policy backing up the process, it opened them up to liability. Could I invite the NCC’s legal counsel to confirm that is the case, to explain what liability the NCC believes they would be open to, and how the adoption of this policy would reduce that? Many thanks, Rob o.b.o NCC Services WG Chairs.

So when exactly did the NCC move to ARIN land? The original idea ("stop all transfers for .ua members") indeed had a high risk associated with it, if applied to .ua LIRs that did not want their resources blocked - and that was made clear in the discussions. Now, a voluntary service where an authorized person at a customer can state "I do not want to be able to use your services for the next half year, whatever I might say tomorrow" is something between a paying customer and the entity offering that service. You have a contract, you do what the contract says. No? Gert Doering -- NetMaster -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...? SpaceNet AG Vorstand: Sebastian v.
