I'd like to see input from the NCC here as to what *precisely*
constitutes acceptable documentation of a merger or acquisition.
Is the assertion that "a full agreement from lawyers" is required
true? 
I believe the NCC owes its members, at the very least,a clear
set-out of "the rules" so members will at least be aware of how
the NCC allows them to conduct their business.

>If the documentation can’t be produced, because the party is just trying to trick the system (to sell their just received IP resources), the restriction apply.

Please provide evidence for your assertion that inability to
provide this documentation constitutes "trying to trick the
system". In the absence of said evidence, Hitchens's Razor
applies.

>This was decided by the community (not ‘just’ decided by the RIPE NCC or the Exec Board) when the Transfer policy was presented and discussed.

The community (or even the membership) did not decide what
'documentation' is allowable to make a M&A 'legit'.
