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:

Â Â - prop-107: AS number transfer policy proposal

Â Â Â This policy would permit the transfer of Autonomous System Numbers

Â Â Â (ASNs) within the APNIC region and between regions with compatible

Â Â Â inter-regional ASN transfer policies.

Â Â Â http://www.apnic.net/policy/proposals/prop-107

No other Regional Internet Registry currently has an inter-RIR ASN

transfer policy that would permit the transfer of ASNs between regions.

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. ÂSpeaking 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.
