well, to me, it's not a policy per se, but a requirement and a process.
and it applies both to bringing legacy and pi in from the cold.  i am
more concerned with the requirements, what makes us comfortable in
establishing that a claimant indeed is the legitimate holder of some
resource(s).  you seem to be more focused on making sure the process of
meeting those requirements is not onerous.  i think both are quite
legitimate concerns.

Andrea's statement on this is interesting:

    We have however built some experience reviewing proof of holdership
    of legacy resources over time. 84 organisations have asked the RIPE
    NCC to add their legacy resources to an LIR. As mentioned in this
    email thread, some cases have been straightforward while other cases
    have required in-depth research and review of documentation.

one has to wonder what criteria and methods the ncc uses.
