The intention is that organizations without an ARIN-region presence (who have no particular need to be serviced by ARIN vs. their local RIR) would obtain addresses from the transfer market, and if those addresses come from the ARIN region, they would be transferred to the local RIR via an 8.4 transfer. Since that avenue is open to organization of all size in the APNIC and RIPE regions, and the AfriNIC region still has plenty of addresses in their free pool, that means this concern really only applies to the LACNIC region, which currently has a policy proposal under discussion to allow inbound inter-RIR transfers, correct? In other words, this concern would be addressed if LACNIC passes their inter-RIR transfer policy, and ARIN updates our transfer policy to allow non-reciprocal transfers to the LACNIC region? -Scott > The addresses are also rendered less accessible to > organizations solely within the ARIN region who can't support a > purchase with profit from a region where addresses are in higher > demand.
