Problem statement ------------------------------------------------------- Existing transfer policies for IPv4, IPv6 and ASN resources have some differences among what is allowed and what not, if in the case of intra-RIR and inter-RIR, and it is not clear if in case of merger and acquisitions it is referring to a complete company, part of it, or even if in case of a company reorganization or relocation, the policy is supportive to that case.

In the case of inter-RIR, the counterpart RIR need to have a reciprocal policy or procedure that allows it.

In some regions, this may not be a policy, but an administrative procedure, but this may change in the future by means of a policy proposal.

In the case of inter-RIR, the counterpart RIR need to have a reciprocal policy or procedure that allows it.

In the caser of inter-RIR, the counterpart RIR need to have a reciprocal policy or procedure that allows it.

In the case of inter-RIR, the counterpart RIR need to have a reciprocal policy or procedure that allows it. 2.

Finally, there should not be differences from the APNIC perspective, on the considerations of an M&A for different type of resources, because there is no reason for allowing, for example, IPv4 resources to be transferred, and instead IPv6 ones not.

Objective of policy change ------------------------------------------------------- To ensure that the policy text is clarified, if those cases are supported by the community.

It will also facilitate companies or business units, moving or being established in other regions. 3.

It will minimize legal issues in case an acquisition claiming their rights over the acquired company and their existing assets (resources).

Situation in other regions ------------------------------------------------------- There is a variety of support of all those cases in different regions.

Similar policy proposals are being submitted in LACNIC and AFRINIC.

A similar policy proposal is being discussed in AFRINIC.

Proposed policy solution ------------------------------------------------------- Actual Text 8.4.

Proposed policy solution ---------------------------- Actual Text 8.4.

Mergers, acquisitions and relocations APNIC will process and record the transfer of IPv4 resources as the result of a partial or complete merger, acquisition, reorganization or relocation, in both cases, intra-RIR and inter-RIR.

Mergers, acquisitions and relocations APNIC will recognize the transfer of IPv4 resources resulting from a partial or complete merger, acquisition, reorganization or relocation.
