Likewise I have no strong opinion on the time-line. Input gladly received.
James indicates that implementing this policy will encourage a market.
I've seen other claims to this effect. I believe there will be a market
anyway, and I think we are dreaming if we pretend that it doesn't exist
now. But will it encourage it? Good question.
>From the proposal intro, the aim is to document transfers:
******
This policy proposal seeks to permit APNIC to document transfers of
IPv4 address space between organisations.

Documentation of who holds a resource is important. No responsible ISP
announces any old thing that comes along. They need to be able to check.
If there is no (or contradictory documentation) as to holds the
resource, then who is the ISP to trust?
