[arin-ppml] Microsoft receives court approval for transfer as agreed with ARIN

[Scott Leibrand]

There are a lot of times that companies make IP requests for an
upcoming project that is not yet public info.  ARIN receives that info
under NDA, allowing it to see enough information to process the
request.  The tradeoff is that the information cannot be disclosed...
