[arin-ppml] Draft Policy 2009-7: Open Access To IPv6

[Morgan Sackett]

I think adding this sort of requirement is disadvantageous to newer  
small networks trying to obtain IP space, especially those looking to  
do IPv6 only.  It will also force the policy to require modification  
as the available v4 space runs out.
