[arin-ppml] Draft Policy 2011-1 - Inter-RIR Transfers - Shepherd's Inquiry

[Scott Leibrand]

As much as I support inter-RIR transfers, and agree with Chris that we
had strong support for this at San Juan, I think Marty is right that
opinion on PPML is much more divided. I personally think that is
because of the moderating and pragmaticizing influence of in-person
discussion, not because overall sentiment has changed. But regardless,
I won't oppose sending it for another round of discussion in Philly.

After Thursday, I also plan to float some other ideas (which we've
discussed here on the AC list) on PPML for inter-RIR transfer policy
that avoids the requirement for needs-based local transfer policy at
the receiving RIR. I think that will be necessary to actually allow
any inter-RIR transfers to APNIC. Since the current proposals are
no-ops unless APNIC changes their transfer policy in Busan, I'm ok
waiting to discuss them at Philly as well.
