The reciprocity requirement merely requires that the policies ALLOW transfers in both directions.
I do not believe that allowing transfers to an RIR which will not allow transfers out is reasonable or prudent and this belief has nothing to do with maintenance or protection of a free pool. If we will allow transfers between RIRs, then the policies by which they are allowed should be fair, balanced, and symmetrical. This does not mean that I expect the ratio of actual transfers to be balanced or symmetrical, merely that the policies under which they are conducted should be.
