[arin-ppml] PolicyProposal:EquitableDistributionofIPv4ResourcesbeforeIPv4 Run out

Thanks for running the numbers to inject a little math into
the discussion.

I really, really want to see a sunset clause in this proposal.
My gut feeling is that if there is not a sunset clause, that
some bozo somewhere (unlikely that it would be an X-large)
would take the opportunity to file a lawsuit, primariarly with
the goal of getting IP addresses ruled as intellectual property
in a court somewhere.  A sunset clause wouldn't protect this
from happening, but it would definitely give any lawyer involved
a far narrower window to file such a suit, and make it much more
difficult to prove damages had occurred.  As a result I think
it would cause any lawyer contracted to file such a suite to
demand cash up front, which would likely kibosh attempts to
do this.

It also makes good sense to make ineffective any regulations
that are no longer applicable.  Once the last IPv4 is assigned, this
regulation would definitely not be applicable.
