Why Use a Qualified Facilitator?

Using a Qualified Facilitator may be a good option for:

Organizations in need of IPv4 address space but unsure of where to get it
Organizations with unused IPv4 address space unsure of the organization to whom they wish to transfer it
Organizations who may need assistance understanding and navigating the resource transfer process
