Proposal summary
- ----------------
This is a proposal to allow and define a mechanism for the transfer of
IPv4 address space between APNIC account holders and organizations in
other RIR region(s), providing that the counterpart RIR has a policy
that allows transfers of address space with APNIC account holders.

Summary of discussion to date
- -----------------------------
- There was some opposition to the proposal because it does nothing
to encourage IPv6 adoption and could complicate RIR-based
Geolocation tools and filtering
- There was a warning that without a transfer policy, transfers
will still take place, either openly or under the table. In light
of the difficulties regulating transfers, the best we can hope to
do is to maintain the integrity of our registry
- An opinion was put forward that organizations would avoid address
space with 'dubious origins', but that a market with limited
supply and no rules is a market begging to be manipulated. This
person tentatively supported the intent of the proposal, but was
looking for modifications in which RIRs allocation policies
should be met and by whom.
