But ARIN has said that, as things stand today, the lack of explicit needs basis in APNIC's transfer policy would make it incompatible with 2011-1's requirement for "compatible, needs-based transfer policies". I hope we can come to an agreement with the APNIC community on language or interpretation that would be compatible with both regions' needs and preferences, but 2011-1 as I see it is just the first step in that direction: setting up a framework that would allow inter-RIR transfers once such incompatibilities are resolved somehow (or with other RIRs where such incompatibilities may not exist).<o:p></o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "> <o:p></o:p></div></div><blockquote style="border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: solid; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-width: 1pt; padding-top: 0in; padding-right: 0in; padding-bottom: 0in; padding-left: 6pt; margin-left: 4.8pt; margin-right: 0in; "><div><div><div style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; ">I guess I am asking for a more detailed definition of the word "compatible" in your proposed language.</span><o:p></o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; ">Maybe that language is extraneous, as you are already requiring both RIRs to agree?</span><o:p></o:p></div></div></div></blockquote><div><div style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "><o:p> </o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; ">Operationally, the two are quite related, in that ARIN will not agree unless they assess the other RIR's transfer policy to be compatible.
