I like this proposed policy, it is very reasonable, and seems to have addressed the overlying concerns with inter-RIR transfers. I have a comment regarding the second argument against the policy, "*The proposal will re-introduce operational needs justification, if any RIR insists on this, in order to effect certain transfers*." I don't think this is an argument against the policy itself, but it is a concern that RIPE NCC needs to address when guiding LIRs in the transfer process. In other words: yes, operational needs justification under any other RIR's "jurisdiction" is a concern, but it is not within RIPE's powers to do anything about it, other than help RIPE's LIRs make the best of it when transferring resources. -- Jan
