It's just this part from the policy:

"A member must pay the full annual service fee for each LIR account(s) held before they can transfer resources or close their LIR account(s)."
                                               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Maybe it would make sense to change this to "each LIR involved in the transfer/closure", but right now it's just using the policy adopted by the community.

kind regards
