[ARIN-consult] Consultation - Retirement of IPv4 Countdown Plan

[Scott Leibrand]

Per https://www.arin.net/policy/nrpm.html#four181, all requests are subject
to "a timely re-validation of the original request" before they can be
fulfilled off the waiting list.  So that part is already handled.

Seth's suggestion was to "defer the review process until (if) their number
comes up on the wait list", which I believe would require a change in
policy, and probably isn't worthwhile, given that approval of a request not
only places it on the wait list, but also serves as a pre-approval for
receiving a transfer.
