[ppml] Policy Proposal: ISP to LIR Clarification - version 1.1

[Azinger, Marla]

Hey Leo-  

What about 4.2 itself?  The title on that line is is "allocations to ISP's".  Or did you somehow address that in a different way?  That is why I suggested adding the change of 4.2.1.1 and not removing 4.2.  You need to change both lines.

1.1



It may not be immeidately obvious, but the only change is section
number 4.2 -> 4.2.1.1, where I had made an error in writing down
the section number.
