I personally agree with that statement.
(What I don't understand is what the delays
have been; my
understanding is that the possibility of using RIPE for the remainder
of 44/8 has now been under investigation for 2 years now…)
Patience Paul :)
These things take time, it has been discussed as an option, we are currently doing some
investigation into the transfer process. We will not be rushing into anything as important
as transferring the address space to another RIR. Any transfer, if it happens, will be
done carefully and with all the right checks completed beforehand. Also, it’s not
currently our highest priority.
Agree with Chris. Adding that we are in-process with a test transfer of
a smaller block of legacy IP addresses (a /29) that have been donated to
us (which we'll likely use for our internal services, e.g. email,
GitLab, etc). Assuming the transfer goes well and does not cause any
hiccups, then we will feel more comfortable making a larger transfer.
We'll keep y'all posted.
