[ppml] Proposed Policy: Capturing Originations in Templates

[Owen DeLong]

I oppose this policy... It represents a duplication of effort.  There are 
already
a number of routing registries (RADB, ARIN RR, etc.) which can be used to
express such data in far greater detail and a more useful fashion.  Please,
let's not reinvent the wheel with a new inferior solution to an already
solved problem.
