[arin-ppml] Demand for community networking

[Martin Hannigan]

Does anyone have a list of community networks that are interested in
this policy? I'd like to take a look and see if I can make an actual
case for this policy. I thought that the slides that we saw yesterday
didn't really do it. I think that there's a need based on extensions
of the network and utilizations like UUCP and store and forward
applications, but if noone is actually asking for that maybe we should
abandon this policy after all.

Best,

Martin
