Hi Bill, Ever build and operate a network in China? Tina Morris and I, the two policy authors, have and do.
There is no BGP in China without IP addresses registered in CNNIC. It's against the law. We, and many other ARIN-region operators, have networks to build and run in China. We cannot do so with the 24 month anti-flip rule in place. "Cannot do so" is not acceptable, so it forces us to 'game' the policy intention by doing an 8.2 to a different OrgID, then doing an 8.4 transfer. So we're paying extra money for extra work by ARIN staff all because of the language in 8.4 -- language which was drafted years ago as a "first-draft" of an anti-flip policy before there was any market. It's 2015, and we have real experience with the market, and real experience operating networks on multiple continents. This draft policy seeks to remedy a real problem. Thanks for listening!
