So based on this policy and the current numbers, which RIR's are covered
by this statement? Is that LACNIC and AFRINIC only?

You are encouraged to discuss all Draft Policies on PPML. The AC will
evaluate the discussion in order to assess the conformance of this draft
policy with ARIN's Principles of Internet number resource policy as stated in
the Policy Development Process (PDP). Specifically, these principles are:
* Enabling Fair and Impartial Number Resource Administration
* Technically Sound
* Supported by the Community

Draft Policy ARIN-2017-4: Remove Reciprocity Requirement for Inter-RIR
Transfers
Version Date: 6 September 2017
Problem Statement:
AFRINIC and LACNIC are currently considering one-way inter-RIR transfer
proposals. Those RIR communities feel a one-way policy a policy that allows
network operators in their regions to obtain space from another region and
transfer it into AFRINIC and LACNIC may best meet the needs of the operators
in that region.
ARIN staff, in reply to an inquiry from AFRINIC, have formally indicated that
ARINs 8.4 policy language will not allow ARIN to participate in such one-way
transfers. The staff formally indicate to AFRINIC that the word reciprocal in
8.4 prohibits ARIN from allowing ARIN-registered space to transfer directly
to AFRINIC (in this context).
ARIN as a community should recognize that other RIR operator communities have
different needs than we do. We should recognize that:
- network operators in AFRINIC in LACNIC have need to obtain space in the
market;
- have reasons they think are important to not allow two-way transfers; and
- we should understand that the history of the RIR system has led to LACNIC
and AFRINIC having multiple orders of magnitude less IPv4 address space than
ARIN does.
Policy statement:
Add the following sentence after the first sentence of NRPM 8.4:
Inter-RIR transfers may take place to an RIR with a non-reciprocal inter-RIR
transfer policy only when the recipient RIR has an IPv4 total inventory less
than the average (mean) of the IPv4 total inventory among all of the RIRs.
Timetable for implementation: Upon the ratification of any inter-RIR transfer
policy at another RIR that is one-way as described in the problem statement.
