Look at your contract with your upstream provider. Do you like what it says? Start negotiating...
We, as a provider, would not mind paying some nominal fee (cheap!) to our upstream provider for continued use of IP addresses after we have terminated our service.
Now you're getting the idea. Only one problem, you need to tell this to your upstream provider, not us. We can't negotiate your contract for you.
I am wondering what impact, if any, would requiring portability of IP addresses under certain criteria (BGP peering, etc) have on the Internet?
Require? Just who is going to "require" this? Who has the ability to enforce a "requirement". The best you can do is to work out some sort of consensus in the PAGAN group and then hope that most people will accept that consensus and implement it. This is generally how international trade negotiations are handled and PAGAN is really no different except that in the Internet world these negotiations are done with all the bureaucracy stripped away. Send a subscribe message to pagan-request () apnic net and hunt around ftp.apnic.net for the archive of past PAGAN/IRE deliberations.
