[arin-ppml] 2009-1 comment

Kevin,

Section 8.3 is supose to apply only to IPv4, Section 8.2, applies to IPv6, and 
ASNs, as well as IPv4.  So do you want 8.3 to apply to IPv6 and ASNs too?  
If we made that change then you would be correct that Section 8.2 would 
superfluous.  But as written in the text recommended by the AC, 8.2 is not 
superfluous, and is very much needed in order to transact transfers for IPv6 
and ASNs in the case of change of ownership.
