There is no shortage of IPv6 addresses or 32 bit ASN. Therefore, I agree that IPv6 transfers and 32 bit ASN transfers should not be permitted, even for M&A.I have almost exactly the opposite opinion. No shortage means no cause to game the system. No gaming of the system means the transfer is requested for reasonable, pragmatic causes. Like avoiding renumbering pain. Why should this be prevented?
Because this is not a strong enough reason to allow IPV6 and 32-bit ASN be moved from one region to another. Although there are costs to do renumbering this is part of the business and anyone in such situation must be prepared to do so.
The type of scenario that is being proposed here is not something that happens so frequently, in some cases may be very specific and is not very productive to change such an important thing like allowing IPv6 and 32-bits ASN to be moved between regions with the impacts it causes in the whole global registering system just to accomplish the need of a few which have workable plausible option available. Therefore the need of a few cannot overcome the interest of the whole system. If there was a shortage of a IPv6 or 32-bit ASN that would be a more strong reason, but the reality is there isn't. The option available is renumbering.
