That is correct, specifically, we assess the compatibility of an RIR's policies with our Inter-RIR transfer policy, and reassess if an RIR should change policies, i.e. RIPE adoption of policy text does not have any impact on ARIN transfers to/from APNIC. > Thus it seems very clear that there is absolutely no cause for concern; > after the passage of 2014-05, all three RIRs in question will be > compatible with the other two. I believe that to be correct, although nothing precludes the community in any region from deciding that outcome does not meet their needs, and changing inter-RIR transfer policy in their region. Such would be a rather surprising development, but I have long since given up attempting to predict the outcomes of the various RIR policy development processes...
