[arin-ppml] ARIN-prop-126: Compliance Requirement

[Scott Leibrand]

FWIW, here's another version of the rationale that the original author had
on an earlier version...

"Due the large size of IPv6 address blocks there will be no real or
effective enforcement mechanism to ensure those who are allocated IPv6
address will maintain the proper WHOIS records in accordance with ARIN NRPM
6.5.  While it is recognized this is not an absolute solution to ensure
compliance, it is the best method under current ARIN policies."
