I'm real skeptical of RIPE in regards to AMPRnet
Please try not to be skeptical towards RIPE ... RIPE is the most realistic RIR without the complications of ARIN.
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.
