[arin-ppml] Policy Proposal: Sunset 2008-6 on schedule

OK, but I still am opposed to removal of a sunsetting
clause on this change - thus I still fully support
your proposal.

I also can't see how this proposal hitting the public before
the board's action is an error on your part.  YOU didn't post
your proposal to the mailing list, ARIN AKA  Member Services
did.  You merely sent a proposal to them.

If they HAD IMMEDIATELY documented this, it would not have
mattered if the proposal had gone out "early"
