Hi Leo Thanks for your responses and the links. In summary, what I am trying to say is that, can the authors of the proposals provide evidence of the exact use-case that warranties, the temporary transfer which is basically another way to permit IPv4 addresses to be leased for a period of time for monetary purposes without providing a service by the LIR that shall be leasing the space.
We have had mechanisms such as, allocation, assignments and transfers working well across all the RIR, from ARIN,AFRINIC. APNIC, RIPE and LACNIC. All the three mechanisms of allocations, assignments and transfers are invoked where there is a need for the resource. The philosophy has always been, need-basis, which is backed by justification.
