[arin-ppml] Policy Proposal: Customer Confidentiality

[David Farmer]

Maybe I'm just saying what you said Leo using different words, I had the 
follow thought after reading your note:

Maybe we should figure out the way we want the world to be in IPv6 and 
work our way back to what that should be for IPv4.  Putting effort into figuring 
out IPv6 would be a good use of effort.  I'm not sure rehashing this again for 
IPv4 is useful effort.  Especially with the number of things the AC has on its 
plate.
