Nick -
ARIN's policies only apply to number resources that are contained
within in the ARIN registry. To the best of my knowledge, number
resources which have been transferred to another regional registry
would be subject to that regional Internet registry's policies.
ARIN's policies most certainly apply to all resources in the ARIN
registry database, and could easily have implications for ability
to transfer to another party in the ARIN region or party in another
region, but once transferred to another region, I am unaware of any
ARIN policy that would be applicable to transferred number resources.
I hope this helps clarify matters.
Thanks!

p.s. Note also that the ARIN Policy Development Process (PDP) allows for
development of policies for administration of number resources
"in the ARIN region" (and IANA-applicable global number resource
policies per the ASO MOU); it is questionable if a policy proposal
for administration of number resources in another regional registry
would even be within the scope for the ARIN PDP...
