If you recall, I got up to the mic to ask about this point specifically.  You're correct that the wording of the proposal required both RIR's policies to be met, but the language implied to me that wasn't the intent.  I asked for clarification, and the clarification we received was that the wording was flawed, and the intent was that each party should meet the relevant requirements of their local RIR (i.e. the transferor meets the requirements of a transferor in their region, and the recipient meets the requirements of a recipient in their region).  

To my recollection, nobody spoke out against this stated intent of the language, and nobody spoke out in favour of keeping the current wording.  In the end, the community gave the support previously indicated in the show of hands.  

I interpret that as the community supporting the intended meaning, rather than the flawed wording.  To me that is sufficient justification for the AC to clarify that wording prior to last call.
