In addition there are multiple issues listed in the Impact Analysis that cause me great concern. The primary issue there is incompatibility with other regional transfer policies.
Yeah, that statement filled my heart with lots of joy as well. </sigh> As Tore pointed out, as we do not have a cross-region transfer policy yet, we are 100 per cent incompatible with all other regions *right now*, and 2013-03 is not changing this. If this working group shold ever start having an interest in a cross-region transfer policy (there is an open policy proposal for that, 2012-02, which is hanging in limbo because of massive disinterest(!) from this community) it would not be hard to add provisions to *that* proposal to ensure the necessary compatibility. For example, if one wants to permit transfers from the ARIN region and ARIN at that time still insists on having a needs-based policy on the receiving end, it would be possible to have a policy on our side that gives receiving parties the option to undergo a needs assessment by the RIPE NCC to have documented need where needed. For the record, I'm going to consider the objection "2013-03 is incompatible with cross-region transfers" as fully addressed when judging consensus.
