Because our policies define who's qualified to receive our addresses
and to the extent that our policies are more restrictive than those in
the receiving region, the recipient must meet our requirements before
the addresses can leave our control.

The exact same way we apply them to folks in the ARIN region.
Templates. Resource reviews. Registration fees. Sometimes audits.

If you want to acquire addresses from your region, you meet your
region's policies. If you want them from ARIN's region, you meet our
policies too.

What's the alternative? ARIN-region and out-region registrants would
be on unequal footing meeting the qualifications to receive an address
transfer from an ARIN-region registrant, potentially with ARIN-region
registrants having to meet a stricter standard.

I'm not sure what's confusing about that or how applying our policies
while the addresses are still our responsibility could _reasonably_ be
construed as interference.

Hi Paul,

If that's what ARIN region policies call for with address transfers.
Why would we allow other regions to port out our scarce addresses
using a less stringent standard than we apply to ourselves?

I should hope so, but fees aren't determined by the policy community.

I would expect so, although it would become moot once the transfer was complete.
