[address-policy-wg] 2012-02 New Policy Proposal (Policy for Inter-RIR Transfers of IPv4 Address Space)

Dear Chris,

Your objection to the current transfer policy as accepted by the RIPE
community is noted. However, I don't think it relates to this policy
proposal. If you feel strongly about changing (or removing, for that
matter) the current transfer policy, I suggest you launch a separate
policy proposal to do just that.

Kind regards,
