[ARIN-consult] Consultation on Transfer Fees Now Open

[Jason Schiller]

Can you clarify who is required to pay the fee, the source or the recipient?

source
must pay the fee when the transfer is initiated.

Currently it is the recipient that pays the transfer fee.  Will that still
be true and if so
can you clarify that language?
