??? For clarity: Statement 1: If you acquire a block on the open market and transfer it into your ARIN account, NRPM 8.4 locks it into ARIN for 2 years. Statement 2: If you need to operate in China and get Chinese transit or peering, Chinese law requires the prefix being announced be registered in CNNIC. Statement 1 was intended to prevent flipping/speculating. Statement 2 is Chinese internet policy. A bad actor gets around Statement 1 by transferring the block to a different OrgID in ARIN via NRPM 8.2. Once that transfer occurs, the block in the different OrgID is not subject to Statement 1 . Flipping/speculation can now occur. A good actor has no choice but to get around Statement 1 by transferring the block to a different OrgID in ARIN via NRPM 8.2, then doing an inter-RIR transfer to APNIC (and then to CNNIC). BGP can now occur. In either case, Statement 1 is no-op. _______________________________________________ PPML You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to the ARIN Public Policy Mailing List ([email protected]).
