Michel - 

Not to quibble, but this was actually set in motion by the ARIN Board, AC, and 
community with the adoption in 2009 of a specified transfer policy for the ARIN 
region.  Prior to that time, such an attempt to the registration of a entry in 
ARIN's database in a manner outside of policy would have been opposed in court 
(as it would otherwise deny this community the ability to establish policies 
for the administration of number resources in region.)

i.e. it was the presence of a transfer policy that enabled forward progress in 
the region, as absence of such would have led to a rather indeterminate state 
given the rapidly growing expectations in this regard.
