The main problem I see is that this policy for the first time will open
the door up to IPv6 transfers. I do not agree with IPv6 transfers.
Up to this point, the primary reason why we allow transfers of IPv4 and 16
bit ASN numbers is the shortage of these resources.
In the case of IPv6 addresses, there is no shortage, therefore I do not
think we need to be going down that road.
If the policy was limited to IPv4 and 16 bit ASN's, I would not have a
problem if indeed the business has moved to another region. However, I do
not want to see this policy being used for forum shopping. I do not
want to see the "I do not like the policies of RIR A, so I am taking my
ball (and my numbers) to RIR B"

Hello PPML,
The Advisory Council is seeking statements of support or opposition to the
below draft policy, which so far have not been seen on PPML. I’d advise the
community to consider the following questions:
1. Is the problem statement a valid and/or likely occurrence that would require
a change of policy to address?
2. Is the proposed text to address the problem statement a valid means to do
so? Are there other approaches the community would like the AC to consider?
3. Is there any potential deleterious impact should this language be adopted
into the NRPM?
We look forward to hearing the community’s response.
Thank you,

Draft Policy ARIN-2019-10: Inter-RIR M&A
Problem Statement:
Merger, acquisition, or reorganization activity sometimes results in a
restructuring where company resources, the management of number resources, or
the use of number resources are concentrated outside the ARIN service region.
In this case it may be desirable for the current legal entity or a legal entity
that is a parent, child or sister to move the servicing of the number resources
to a different RIR.
Example:
Imagine a case where a global company has decided to discontinue service in the
ARIN service region (shuttering ARIN region offices laying off ARIN region
employees, and canceling ARIN region customers) and repurpose the network
resources and number resources in the rest of its global footprint.
Imagine a case where a global company has decided to divest its service in the
ARIN region (selling all ARIN region offices, all ARIN region network assets,
all ARIN service region customers, all number resources used in the ARIN
(associated with previous noted sale of network and customers), but retaining
ARIN issued resources in use outside of the ARIN service region.
Policy Statement:
Add to section 8.2:
When merger, acquisition, or reorganization activity results in surviving legal
entity that is incorporated outside the ARIN service region, or focused outside
the ARIN service region, or is merging with an organization that already has a
relationship with another RIR, then resources may be moved to another RIR in
accordance with the receiving RIR’s policies.
