so you want to develop a policy proposal in Forum A which can only be
decided upon in Fora B, C, D, E and F??

As John has indicated, it wouldn't be appropriate for RIR staff to
represent their respective community's position since in some cases
they don't know what it would be unless a proposal is put in front of
their community, and it is not the role of the RIR staff to make
global policy.

You would have more success (I think) if you used the argument "we
should all run out at the same time" to push for a global transfer
policy.  I don't think an appeal to free market purism will win many
folk, at least that is my sense from my experience as a co-chair of
the AfriNIC PDWG.  We rejected a free market based proposal less than
a year ago.
