[arin-ppml] ARIN-PPML Digest, Vol 56, Issue 41

Fri Feb 12 12:40:43 EST 2010

I support this policy proposal in principle, however I am undecided on the
wording. Example: I want to query the use of the word "normal"  in favor of
" publication policy" . Does the use of the word "normal" invite questions
about what is normal and what is not, in the event of future changes in
publication policies?
