[arin-ppml] ARIN-prop-151 Limiting needs requirements for IPv4 transfers

[Owen DeLong]

I still oppose the policy. This policy is still a speculators dream and will have
negative impacts on the proper and reasonable management of IPv4 address
space by removing the needs-basis for any amount of transfers up to an aggregate
/12 (more than 1/4096th of total IPv4 unicast space).

Worse, this would actually prevent inter-RIR transfers out of the ARIN region as it
is currently worded below.
