[arin-ppml] Policy Proposal 124: Clarification of Section 4.2.4.4

[Owen DeLong]

I don't believe this proposal makes enough difference to warrant
treating it as an emergency.

The event in question will occur prior to the completion of the normal
policy cycle. (likely less than a month from now).

As such, I oppose this policy in that I believe it will be rendered moot
before it could be reasonably applied.
