Hi John,

Respectfully, we have barely a weak consensus, if that, on what the
transfer policies should be within the region. There is wide
disagreement as to whether transfers should have any form of needs
testing save for the movement of tender. In that environment it makes
sense to pursue globally coordinated consensus on transfer policies?
Surely you jest.
