I think we should come to a consensus on a complete policy including timing. I propose 24 months, but I would find 12 or 18 months acceptable.... If the community can’t come to consensus on the timing, then you don’t have consensus on the policy since the timing is part of the policy proposal.</span></p>

Honestly this seems like a lot of steps just to transfer resources from one RIR to another. Since the region currently does not have one, you'd think this would solve problems but instead, this allows for greater AFRINIC interference in a supposedly interference-free transfer. This is still not addressed. Additionally, the staff themselves has pointed out glaring vague and open-ended definitions that should also be addressed. I would definitely support a policy that has less "interference" with RIR than the current one.</span></p></li>
