[arin-ppml] Draft Policy 2011-6: Returned IPv4 Addresses

[Martin Hannigan]

The recycle times are most likely not relevant since legacy addrs are
not generally filtered like IANA addrs that were unallocated were.

I'm opposed to the language in the 'update' and you should be as well.

Adding in the link to the RSA creates a hole that will likely result
in unpredictability of the performance of this policy. We have lots of
policy breakage like this; too much room for interpretation.

In this case, a narrow, succinct and predictable policy is required so
that proper expectations are set regionally and globally.  What we
have here in this version is not what the intent was when I wrote it.


Best,

Marty
