these two messages bring up an important question.

is everyone fully aware that a version of this same policy has already been
approved (2008-6) and stands to go into effect on june 1, and that what's
being discussed here is a cleaned up version (2009-1)?

that means, opposition to 2009-1's proposed 8.3 in ignorance of 2008-6's
effective 8.3 won't help any cause.  to stop address space transfers from
taking place apart from acquisitions, would require a new transfer policy
that undid the effect of 2008-6.  2009-1 will not be *that* policy.
