This document discusses improving the IPv4 transfer experience at APNIC. It provides statistics on the number of IPv4 addresses transferred and transfer requests over time. It then outlines several transfer services provided by APNIC, including pre-approval of transfers, a transfer listing service, a mailing list, and registered IPv4 brokers. The document concludes by proposing ideas to improve the transfer process, such as automating renewal of pre-approvals, listing available IPv4 addresses, validating resource ownership using RPKI, checking resource quality, and incorporating an online inter-RIR transfer form.
