[arin-ppml] Inter-RIR transfer Policy compatibility with Afrinic_Resource Transfer Policy proposal

[Owen DeLong]

It doesn’t have to be hidden, but it does need to follow a formal process. Once it is assembled by staff, I see no reason they could not simultaneously communicate it to the other RIR and to PPML.

However, it does need to be a staff-to-staff request and response to satisfy the necessary formalities to ensure the accuracy and correctness of the communications and to avoid the potential for chaos that could ensue from permitting ad-hoc requests from random community members in RIR-A from making requests directly to staff at RIR-B.

There are very good reasons, staff evaluations go through a formal process, staff should only plan a very limited roll in the formation of RIR policy.  Yes, in some situations this is inconvenient, but there is a strong reason for this inconvenience, and why there is a PDP.
