Exactly, and I appreciate your respect instead of merely blaming my perusal
of data.

There are 4-5 responses from APNIC hostmasters for completing a transfer
request, with 158 request, which means in total 700-800 emails can be saved
for no reason.

The aim of the policy is to save unnecessary administrative burden for both
members as well as APNIC staff. If a need test is needed to make sure that
space is fully utilized, then we spend 800 emails which would only be found
out to be less than 1% of request that will fail such test. In this sense
why do we need such a test in the first place?
