[address-policy-wg] 2012-03 Discussion Period extended until 22 October 2012 (Intra-RIR transfer policy)

Tore Anderson stated 
I am really struggling with this sentence:

?Other than for an additional allocation, for the purpose of determining
need, a period of 24 months is used in evaluating a transferred
allocation.?

The intent is that 24 months should be the the period for all
allocations.  I will change the wording to:

A period of 24 months is used in evaluating a transferred allocation.

Tore also stated:
Another thing I am wondering about, is the new 24 month period. Prior to
?Run Out Fairly?, the period was 12 months. This was determined by
2006-06, which intended to harmonise the need period across the five
regions. With that in mind, I would like to see why 24 months was
chosen. Is 2006-06's rationale no longer valid? What are the need
periods currently used for allocation transfers in the other regions?

The need period in the ARIN region is 24 months and the need period in
the
APNIC region is 12 months.
