[arin-ppml] Draft Policy 2010-2: /24 End User Minimum Assignment Unit - Correct Title

[Owen DeLong]

I would like to clarify a couple of points in this discussion...

This proposal is a bit more conservative than the one being discussed below.

As I understand the NRPM, this proposal would enable customers who can justify
a need for 128 or more IP addresses and who are multihomed to get a /24. It would
not enable customers with, say, 8 addresses to get a /24 from ARIN, even though
they can get a /24 from one of their upstream providers.

Thus, this policy only opens up ARIN PI /24s to a subset of those that can currently
get PA /24s, and, not everyone.  While I would support a policy that had parity with
the PA /24 policy for direct assignments from ARIN, I think such a policy would be
far less likely to achieve community consensus at this time.
