[arin-ppml] Policy Proposal: Protective Usage Transfer Policy for IPv4 Address

[Scott Leibrand]

Under the new policy development process, the ARIN AC has to decide 
whether to accept a policy proposal onto their docket, with the intent 
to develop it into a draft policy.  The AC then has the authority to 
make whatever changes to the policy are warranted.  Given that, my 
question to you (and to the community generally) is:

Do you think the ARIN Advisory Council should accept this policy 
proposal as the basis for a draft policy to be discussed at an upcoming 
policy meeting?  Why or why not?

Thanks,
Scott
