But what they hey, as long as you've broached the subject:

In your view, which of the other four RIRs presently implement a
transfer policy whose minimum path through the policy-derived process
appiles as restrictive or more restrictive rules on the recipient than
ARIN's? I won't ask you to "prove it" in each case, but as few of us
here are experts in other RIRs' policies I will ask you to explain
your reasoning.

My statement looked to the horizon, to the possibilities, but I think
it might be interesting to know the immediate game on the ground as
well.
