For context: In July 2013, the ARIN AC abandoned draft policy ARIN-2013-1
"Section 8.4 Inter-RIR Transfers of ASNs", because "The feedback from the
community indicated that many people felt the policy was unnecessary as it
would have no effect until/unless another RIR expresses interest in
allowing Inter-RIR ASN transfers as well." -

Obviously that is no longer true, now that APNIC has implemented an
inter-RIR ASN transfer policy.  Speaking as an individual active in the
ARIN policy development process (and NOT on behalf of the AC), I would be
happy to consider a new inter-RIR ASN transfer policy proposal if anyone
thinks it would be useful.
