I was sure I'd read an explicit declaration that transfers due to
business transactions do not fall under transfer policies in one
of the alloc/assignment policy docs, however I might have been
wrong and was thinking of ripe-654 which is a Organisational
Document. 
This document, in sec 2.0 recognises transfers thus:


A member must inform the RIPE NCC ifone or bothof the following
changes occurs: 


Internet Number Resource are transferred. Such transfers may take
place:

Because of a change in the members business structure, for
example in the case of a merger or acquisition of the members
organisation.

In the case of a transfer of Internet number resources from the
member to another party according to RIPE Policies (section 5.5
and 6.4 of IPv4 Address Allocation and Assignment Policies for
the RIPE NCC Service Region , section 8 of IPv6 Address
Allocation and Assignment Policy and section 4.0 of Autonomous
System (AS) Number Assignment Policies ). Such a transfer may
also be facilitated through the RIPE NCC Listing Service .

The member changes its official legal name . Such a change may
occur, for example, because of a merger or acquisition of the
members organisation.

So there are transfers due to M, name changes, and *according
to transfer policy*. Three separate cases.

Which also means that 2015-04, stating explicitly that M
transfers are subject to policy, contradicts ripe-654 and would
trigger a change of this document - which I hope would be subject
to membership approval via GM vote.

It has always been in scope, it just hasn't been very interesting to write 
policy about. Until now when people are using it as a way to circumvent policy.

RIPE policy has, until recently, explicitly recognised that M (and
what happens to resources due to those) is not in scope for the
PDP. It is only since "last /8" that certain elements of the

RIPE policy does regulate IP allocations and under what conditions you are 
allowed to have/transfer/etc them. I agree that RIPE policy cannot regulate an 
organisation's M itself, but what happens to IP allocations when M happens 
definitely is in scope.

The fact remains that policy has no business regulating into the
business transactions of members (vulgo M) and I oppose it for
that reason alone.
