The full text of the policy
The full text of the policy proposal has already been posted to ARIN's Public Policy Mailing list. You can see that post, and links to the full PPML archive showing the discussion of the policy proposal, at http://lists.arin.net/pipermail/ppml/2008-February/009976.html
As alluded to in the article, it's worth noting that ARIN has a public policy development process, in which any interested parties can participate, via the PPML and/or at the public meeting. This policy proposal will only be adopted if there is community consensus to do so.
I would also agree with the previous comment that the need for this policy proposal is driven by the fact that not all networks are ready to deploy IPv6, and transition mechanisms are not yet well-developed enough to allow large IPv6 networks to communicate with IPv4 networks without running dual stack (IPv4+IPv6). As a result, there will be continued demand for IPv4 addresses after the exhaustion of the free pool, so a transfer policy like this proposal is needed to meet that need.
