Hello Ernest,

APNIC hostmasters follow The APNIC Internet Number Resource Policies <https://www.apnic.net/policy/resources> when evaluating resource requests. Specifically, section of 4.0 and 8.0 when evaluating resource transfers.


Kind regards,

George Kuo
APNIC

Hi George,

My transfer was completed in 2016 with the new IP owner but we were not
used transfer method, the new owner were used merger method to complete
our transfer.
Transfer method was denied by APNIC staff. And that is not our original
transfer method idea.
The IP block are not just last 103 /8, there are also have 43 /8

Can you confirm APNIC, are there have special policy for IPv4 Transfer
between APNIC members ?

    Hi George,
    Thanks for quick response and clarification.

    Again, still not sure what problem we are trying to solve? Haven't
    seen a single use case.

        Hi Aftab,

        We are happy to share more information if we have the permission
        from
        the account holder. Otherwise, it is not possible for the APNIC
        Secretariat to disclose individual account and request
        information on
        the public mailing list.
