ARIN's policies only apply to number resources that are contained within in the ARIN registry. To the best of my knowledge, number resources which have been transferred to another regional registry would be subject to that regional Internet registry's policies.
ARIN's policies most certainly apply to all resources in the ARIN registry database, and could easily have implications for ability to transfer to another party in the ARIN region or party in another region, but once transferred to another region, I am unaware of any ARIN policy that would be applicable to transferred number resources.
I hope this helps clarify matters.
Hi John, It clarifies the intent, but "to the best of my knowledge" is an expression of opinion rather than a formal statement of policy. If we're going to have a working transfer mechanism, given that there is a level of ambiguity in the text in the ARIN transfer policy, it would be good if this could be clarified formally so that we can remove any doubt.

p.s. Note also that the ARIN Policy Development Process (PDP) allows for development of policies for administration of number resources "in the ARIN region" (and IANA-applicable global number resource policies per the ASO MOU); it is questionable if a policy proposal for administration of number resources in another regional registry would even be within the scope for the ARIN PDP...
