Some clarity of terms:
- Global policy – policy used by the IANA registry operator for
administration
of the IANA Internet number registries
- Globally-coordinated policy – policy used by the RIRs for administration of
their regional registries that has been coordinated among the RIRs to be
uniform
- Regional policy – policy used by the an RIR for administration of the
Internet number registries for that region
It is the community, not an asserted “RIR leadership”, that matters when it
comes to policy development, and the community has the tools necessary
to develop globally uniform policies if it chooses to do so.

You have a reasonable argument for why there should be globally-coordinated
policy in this area. If you need any assistance when developing your
proposal,
please reach out to the ARIN Advisory Council for assistance. Ultimately, it
is up
to the globally community whether a globally uniform transfer policy is
desirable.
Thanks!
