Well, I can't see how allowing IPv6 transfers or not can be compared to
a 'feature' and discourage people to adopt it or not. If they do this
based on this premise it is much worse for them than for the rest of the
internet. And going beyond as it is normally discussed in these policy
lists it is out of the scope of a policy to force or not IPv6 adoption.
About RIR 'competing' there should never be anything like that. RIRs are
never there to compete between themselves, they are not companies that
distribute profits in the way people are used to think. RIRs operate in
a very different way and must be kept apart from practices that can bend
their capacity to do a proper work within their functions.

The main problem I see is that this policy for the first time will

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.
There may be other reasons than “shortage” to administratively move
resources. Have you considered that others may have other priorities
and that there may be no clear downside to others if they use those
policy elements?
I find it becoming increasingly hard to explain to anyone why IPv4 and
ASNs can move, but not IPv6. It discourages IPv6 because of lack of
feature parity.
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"
What is wrong with shopping? Competition brings out the best in all of
us.
Kind regards,
Job
