Hi John,

It clarifies the intent, but "to the best of my knowledge" is an expression
of opinion rather than a formal statement of policy.  If we're going to
have a working transfer mechanism, given that there is a level of ambiguity
in the text in the ARIN transfer policy, it would be good if this could be
clarified formally so that we can remove any doubt.
