Suggest updating the minimum transfer size specification to reflect "Current ARIN minimum allocation or assignment policy as defined in section 4 or section 6 or the original assignment size, whichever is smaller." since over time we have seen changes in these minimums and I would prefer that the transfer policy automatically track other policy changes.
