Since AFRINIC still has a general free pool, why is not getting addresses directly from that RIR for use in that region not an option? With no current resources in that area, it should be easy to get an initial allocation, just like the old days....

Also, why cannot we consider a policy that allows the same operator to transfer between regions, without opening up the policy to the general transfer market?

I see fewer problems with a transfer to another RIR, as long as the entity at each end of the transfer is the same. It is when we open up one way transfers between non related entities is where I see the issue for abuse.

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."
