If IPv6 becomes more generally transferrable, then section 2 can be updated 
along side the other policy changes required.

In terms of 8.2, IPv6 transferability under 8.2 is exceptional compared to 
other transfers, so I think it’s OK to note that
exception as part of the language update in 8.2

Personally, I don’t see a significant difference between inclusive or (and/or) 
and phrasing elsewhere that clarifies that the or is inclusive followed by use 
of the normally exclusive or.

I do think that the global definition in section 2 for “transferable resources” 
(or if you have a better choice of terms, go for it, but some term that 
identifies IPv4 + ASNs and not IPv6 currently).

I still like making the clarification that each resource type is considered 
separately for each transfer.

How about section 2 defining “Transferable resources" as “IPv4 addresses and 
ASNs, except where specifically noted otherwise” and then proceeding apace?

I don’t find and/or any more awkward than or, so I’m not convinced that’s 
really an issue. I don’t like just using “number resources” in a place where we 
don’t intend IPv6 because it’s not the plain language meaning of the term.

I think that’s already generally the case.
