Re: [sig-policy] prop-050: IPv4 address transfers
Your proposal is reasonable at this time. However, if you permit a
previously allocation block to break into many separate /24s when transfer,
then how about the aggregation goal. I'm wonder why this proposal do not
base on current IPv4 management policy, that mean, the condition to transfer
is /21 size address block with previously allocation block and /24 size
address block with previously multihoming assignment.

Nick,
Thanks for your note. The wording of "current account holder" is
intended to apply at any time - i.e. a new account holder is a "current
account holder".
As to whether this is a "first step to a global trading scheme" is
really up to others - if you are of the opinion that such a mechanism is
appropriate, then the course is open to introduce policy proposals in
each of the address forums to such an effect. In this case the policy
proposal is more modestly limited to APNIC current account holders.
regards,
Geoff
