Hi David,

 

https://www.apnic.net/manage-ip/manage-resources/transfer-resources/nir-ipv4-transfer/

 

CNNIC allows outbound transfers now.

So of your statistics below, really only the two /22s to KRNIC are valid 
examples of transfers to one-way recipient NIRs.

 

Frankly I believe both KRNIC and VNNIC would both actually process an outbound 
transfer if one was ever presented to it. They are technically bound in some 
way to APNIC policies but I doubt this has ever been challenged.

 

Regards,

Mike

Currently, there are certain registries that are operating like roach motels 
for IP addresses. KR-NIC, CN-NIC are examples.

 

There is no evidence that this presents anything more than a theoretical 
problem, in fact I went and looked at APNICs transfer logs;

 

https://www.apnic.net/manage-ip/manage-resources/transfer-resources/transfer-logs/

or

http://ftp.apnic.net/transfers/apnic/

 

I found out of 281 transfers from ARIN to APNIC, there were 2 to KR and 15 to 
CN, and the 2 to KR were /22s and all the transfers to CN appear to be cloud 
providers from the best I can tell.  There were also another 22 transfers from 
APNIC to ARIN, for a total of 303 transfers between APNIC and ARIN. 

 

You want to break 94% of the transfers between APNIC and ARIN because you don't 
like 6% of them.  

 

AfriNIC is discussing a similar proposal and a similar proposal was discussed 
in LACNIC.

 

Help me understand this, we are going to break transfers to APNIC in hopes that 
ArfNIC and LACNIC won't pass a policy?  Please explain how you expect that to 
work.   

 

It is hoped that by implementing this policy it will put pressure on those 
registries to be more cooperative with the global community in allowing 
bi-directional transfers.

That is how it helps network operations. Admittedly, it’s a short-term pain for 
a longer term gain, but that is the intent.

 

In my opinion the cure you propose is fare worse than the disease you seek to 
remedy.  This policy will seriously damage what seems like a mostly well 
functioning system, primarily to influence a decision that is independent of 
the result.

 

I cannot support this policy.

 

Thanks.
