[ppml] Proposal for the creation of a working group.

Hi Raul,

  Just a quick comment.  You recognize that we have separate RIR's
because it was recognized that different regions cannot all operate
the same way.  You should also recognize that the diminishing pool
of unallocated IPv4 is not the same level of concern in all regions
and that some regions do not need or want to implement policy affecting
it.

  I think it would be wise to wait for consensus on dealing with IPv4
runout in ARIN first, before trying to encourage the rest of the RIR's to
go make policy regarding IPv4 runout.  In all liklihood, for the ones
that runout is a non-issue, they are merely waiting to see what ARIN
does anyway and then just do that.

Ted
