Summary of the problem being addressed by this proposal

The Policy Development Working Group (PDWG) discusses about the policy proposals and anyone may participate either in the Resource Policy Discussion mailing list (RPD) and the bi-annual Public Policy Meetings (PPM).

However, not all RPD participants are able to attend all the PPM, where the Chairs determine whether rough consensus has been achieved, so discrimination is generated towards those not able to attend, which usually are a much larger group.

With its requirement of face-to-face participation at the PPM, the current PDP might – at least partially – be the cause of the low levels of community participation in the process.

This proposal would simplify the process by not requiring participation at the in-person PPM to achieve consensus – instead, consensus would be determined balancing the mailing list and the forum – and would therefore increase community participation.

Summary of the Problem Being Addressed by this Policy Proposal

This proposal allows establishing the mechanism to allow transfers of resources (IPv4, IPv6, ASNs) between to/from other regions and to align AfriNIC with a market that already exists and in which we are lagging behind, which is negative for the region.

 

References

There are Inter-RIR policies in APNIC, ARIN and RIPE, which have widely demonstrated their effectiveness and have not presented problems to the respective communities, quite the contrary.

LACNIC is discussing an equivalent proposal. 

According to the existing evidence, the ARIN region appears as the origin of the transfer of the largest number of addresses to the other regions that have resource transfer policies.
