Kevin,<div><br></div><div>We changed that text in response to staff comments about how the previous text was too ambiguous. John Curran told us in the meeting that these changes made it clearer to ARIN staff. We're open to suggestions though. Can you suggest some text you feel would be clearer? </div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">I will endeavor to be helpful but I also share the concern about the significant changes in the draft policy from the meeting and what was brought to last call.<br>
<br>
I see that "entities agreeing to the transfer and which otherwise meet both RIR's policies." was removed, which I considered to be a bi-lateral justification. That shifted the onus to "share compatible, needs based policies". If that is the case I don't believe that "compatible" is strong enough and in my mind is way to ambiguous. It also removes any of the other provisions of the NRPM which might be required if abuse of the policy is found.<br>

> While there were concerns regarding the presented wording, there was<br>

><br>
> The first paragraph is a modified version of the current 8.3 policy language,<br>

> The new second paragraph adds language enabling transfers to a specified<br>

><br>
