ARIN-based network operators who are responsible for multi-continent IP networks need to be able to move ARIN-registered numbers from ARIN to LACNIC and AFRINIC for our datacenters in those regions. This need is to allow us to achieve legal compliance and network engineering goals.
This draft policy meets that need, has safeguards against imbalance, and is respectful of the wishes of two RIR communities. Quoting David Farmer:
"In the long-run I totally believe LACNIC and AFRINIC should approve reciprocal transfer policies. However, we need to give them room to decide this for themselves, it is arrogant and inconsiderate of the facts for us to dictate a reciprocal transfer policy to them. If they feel they need to start with a one-way transfer policy, there is logic to such a strategy, and the current facts seem to justify at least some caution on their part."
