Your interpretation is the same as mine, correct or not ;) The
crux is, though: it changes ripe-623, the "IPv4 Address
Allocation and Assignment Policies for the RIPE NCC Service
Region" document, not a hypothetical "Transfer Policies"
document. This sets a precedent for changing *everything else* in
this document and applying the changes retrospectively. I can't
be the only one who does not want to go there?
