    <p>Hi,</p>
    <p>I'm in full agreement with Mark on this.</p>
    <p>I also agree with Jordi that we need safeguards in place to avoid
      abuse of the policy.</p>
    <p>Basically I believe that there was a rule about "if you transfer
      out you're not eligible for further space" with a time limit. 
      Can't recall the details, but basically my stance is, once you've
      transferred more out that you've transferred in (only taking out
      of region transfers into account) you're no longer eligible for
      receiving space from in-region (by allocation or transfer).</p>
