Just a quick comment on the wording. The notes say: > - The new 6(d)(vii) says that a transfer is a kind of allocation or > assignment. Because of this, other parts of the RSA that refer to allocations > or assignments will automatically cover transfers as well. That seems fine. However section 1(c)(i) says: > - “Services” may include, without limitation, an allocation/assignment or > transfer of number resources. Depending on how someone wants to read it, that might be interpreted in a way that sets a precedent that says that transfers are not included in "allocation/assignment" by default and need to be mentioned explicitly. I know, I'm picking nits here, but for consistency and to avoid misinterpretations I think it would be better to either not mention "or transfers" here, or to explicitly include them in other places as well. Cheers, Sander
