[arin-ppml] the Transfer Policy Argument Space

[Chris Grundemann]

Great idea David, I agree 100% that defining / mapping the argument
space will help everyone to better understand their own position as
well as the positions of others.

Maybe I am making this more complicated than it needs to be but for me
to really wrap my head around the entire argument space, I had to take
a graphical approach. For those interested, it can be found here:

I am open to suggestions on how this drawing could be improved,
utilized, discarded, and/or converted to text to complement the list
you are generating in this thread.
