Hi Elvis,
ARIN and RIPE have specific facilities for members to advertise need *and* availability of space. ARIN has Specified Transfer Listing Service and RIPE has its Transfer Listing Service. APNIC only has its pre-approval list, with a means to contact those listed, so I guess that really serves the function of advertising need. But APNIC doesn't really have a facility for advertising space for sale, and so by default this list acquired that function. I did not read into the charter's description anything prohibiting postings which advertise space available for sale, and I always figured that would be its primary function. But it's interesting to see the charter language, and it could be the intent was to be more discussion-based than advertising-based. We have not used it much but I don't have a problem with the advertising. I just think this list is not used much by market participants, same as ARIN STLS is not used much.

Do you find them useful? If not, why is nobody reacting? If yes, would you be mad if 50 brokers decide to send similar e-mails every month? The charter says "The APNIC Transfer mailing list was created to provide a forum enabling the sources and recipients of IPv4 address transfers, as well as IPv4 brokers, to discuss topics relevant to IPv4 transfers." - the e-mails I see are pure sales e-mails, no topics relevant to IPv4 transfers. I call it spam sent to a mailing list and not to a bunch of individuals. Elvis On 8/3/17 7:56 PM, Hazan, Jack wrote: Ipv4auctions.com <http://Ipv4auctions.com> is listing /19s.
