Since this attestation will become part of the standard for justifying need for 
IPv4 addresses as of May 18, 2009.  Therefore, I assume that since the new 
Transfer Policy, either 2008-6 or 2009-1, requires justified need, and this will 
soon be part of the standard for justifying the need for IPv4 addresses.  To 
me It follows that this requirement would apply to transfers too, at least until 
the requirement is eliminated. 

I think I like it.  It legitimately raises the bar for obtaining IPv4 resource during 
a scarcity, without raising it to far.  Further it will be hard for any CEO to 
claim "I didn't know", if or when this gets to the point Congress gets involved.

So just to clarify, does this apply to transfers too?

Thanks
