When a member disposes of address space using this transfer policy
the member should not be entitled to any further IPv4 allocations
or assigments from APNIC for a period of 24 months or until the
"final / 8" assignment measures are implemented. In exceptional
circumstances a member can submit a comprehensive plan justifying
an allocation. A substantial processing fee may be charged and a
notice of application will be posted for at least 7 days on the
APNIC website.
FYI, we've taken the vote counts to see preference of the community

If there is to be a restriction, which option should be adopted?

option A (original prop-050) : 0

Thanks for posting this data - I wonder if the result would have been
different if Option C had talked about 12 months instead of 24 months.
If we are to believe the IPv4 Exhaustion Counter at
http://inetcore.com/project/ipv4ec/index_en.html we don't have 24 months
to play with. That counter now estimates 703 days or ~= 23 months. Allow
another 3 months to get this policy through if everyone agrees in
Beijing and on the list and in the EC. Then allow another 1-2 months to
get things up and working at APNIC and we've got more like 18 months and
that includes the "final /8" period.
So lets discuss Option C with a much shorter restriction that 24 months
please. I'd suggest 12 months at most.
I'd also be tempted to leave out mention of fees in this option - that's
the job of the EC - not this group.
