Transfer market transparency is good.  :-)

I'm not sure about this text, but I think it needs to be discussed in
Philadelphia.

>  ARIN-prop-152 RSA Modification Limits

I'm not sure about this text either, but I think it's reasonable for
the community to express our collective opinion on how far ARIN should
go in modifying the RSA, and I think this is the right vehicle for
discussing that in Philly.

>  ARIN-prop-153 Correct erroneous syntax in NRPM 8.3

I don't support this proposal, but I think it's good to have this on
the agenda in Philly as a counterpoint to the "remove single
aggregate" proposal.

I agree with both those explanations.

And wholeheartedly agree with this.  :-)
