[ppml] [sig-policy] Policy Proposal: IPv4 Transfer Policy Proposal

[Ray Plzak]

Any discussion of a globally coordinated policy must include an agreement between the RIRs that all will adhere to the policy as globally coordinated and that regional changes cannot and will not be accepted or this policy will unravel like the globally coordinated IPv6 policy of 2002. The ink was not dry on that policy before the first RIR modified it thus negating the efforts of a great number of individuals over a great many months.
