Hi Nick, Tore,

This is interesting on so many aspects, like

 - put a moratorium on what?  There are no transfers APNIC->RIPE NCC yet,
   because we do not have a policy to receive them (it is in last call,
   true, but not policy yet)

 - even if we had a policy, we have clear statements that the way we have
   phrased our text is compatible with ARIN's requirement for needs-based
   on the receiving side - so very curious indeed...
