Support.

This goal of 2012-03 was to align the justification period with the
other RIR's who allow inter-RIR transfers.  Tore's proposal 2013-03 will
remove justification altogether, which is what all the RIR's need to do.
 The reason I went with a 24 month justification period in 2012-03 was
because that was the period APNIC and ARIN use.  I was hopeful that this
would align the RIPE such that when transfers to and from those RIR's
were considered, they would be allowed, because the RIPE would have a
"like" policy.

Tore's policy may have the impact of bringing ALL the RIR's into the
current market reality:  that when an entity is paying for IP's, that is
needs justification enough.  There is no hoarding in an unencumbered
market.  RIPE is demonstrating true world leadership here.
