Milton - If we're going to keep the discussion on what makes for good
policy in the various proposals, it would be helpful if you would also 
refrain from "verbal assertion of authority over an issue that is legally 
and politically contested."  i.e. In this particular case, it is clear 
that ARIN _can_ require any party to conform to community policy before
changing the number resource registration in the registry.  How that 
conflates with your statement above is still contested, so it would be 
best to instead argue for the inclusion or omission of need-basis for 
transfers based on its own policy merits or concerns (if we are indeed 
to follow your advice.)

Thanks!
