[arin-ppml] Policy Proposal: IPv4 Recovery Fund - Revised

[Milton L Mueller]

This won't work. Most of the low-hanging fruit would be legacy holdings not under any RSA, and thus not subject to any annual fees. Plus, you can't raise fees on people who don't need addresses without also raising them on people who do need them.
