Transfer of AS Numbers now possible with new APNIC policy _________________________________________________
Today, 16 April 2014, APNIC implemented a change in Autonomous System Numbers policy which will permit the transfer of AS Numbers between APNIC account holders. The proposal reached consensus during APNIC 36 in Xi'An, China in August 2013.
The policy proposal implemented is:
- prop-107: AS number transfer policy proposal
This policy would permit the transfer of Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) within the APNIC region and between regions with compatible inter-regional ASN transfer policies.

No other Regional Internet Registry currently has an inter-RIR ASN transfer policy that would permit the transfer of ASNs between regions.
The policy change required edits to two documents. The comment period for the draft documents incorporating these policies ended on 10 January 2014. The following updated documents are now officially active:
- Policies for Autonomous System number management in the Asia Pacific region - APNIC transfer, merger, acquisition, and takeover policy
For more information on the history of APNIC policy proposals, see the Policy Proposals page.

For context: In July 2013, the ARIN AC abandoned draft policy ARIN-2013-1 "Section 8.4 Inter-RIR Transfers of ASNs", because "The feedback from the community indicated that many people felt the policy was unnecessary as it would have no effect until/unless another RIR expresses interest in allowing Inter-RIR ASN transfers as well." - http://lists.arin.net/pipermail/arin-ppml/2013-July/027028.html
Obviously that is no longer true, now that APNIC has implemented an inter-RIR ASN transfer policy. Speaking as an individual active in the ARIN policy development process (and NOT on behalf of the AC), I would be happy to consider a new inter-RIR ASN transfer policy proposal if anyone thinks it would be useful.
