Whilst I agree with the vast majority of your email it is absurd to retrospectively apply a newly adopted policy. I believe this would be a very unhealthy precedent to set.
Strictly speaking, all transfer policies have been applied retroactively (at some point, transfers were made possible for all resources that had been allocated or assigned before that point). Also, we have done this when increasing the holding period for the /22s to 24 months - which, of course, people that made money of doing fast-LIRs did not like. So this has been done and can be done again. What we cannot do is retroactively disallow a transfer that has already been *done*, but deciding new policies for existing allocations and assignment is fully covered by the RIPE general service agreement.
