[ppml] Draft 2 of proposal for ip assignment with sponsorship

[Forrest]

I think ARIN doing audits on the space periodically and/or doing checks 
when you pay your renewal fee would be a lot more reliable than hoping 
that an upstream would notify ARIN if you ceased being their customer.  
There are providers out there whose billing systems are so screwed up 
that they'll continue billing you for services long after you've stopped 
using them.  Yet they will somehow magically notify ARIN that you're no 
longer a customer even when they're own billing department doesn't get 
the message?  

As sad as it is to say, I just don't think you can rely on everyone to be 
good netizens, so ARIN needs to be more proactive.  If everyone was, you 
wouldn't have problems like people announcing a bunch of unnecessary /24's 
instead of their larger aggregate or people still filtering 69.0.0.0/8 
etc...
