[arin-ppml] ARIN-2011-9 (Global Proposal): Global Policy for post exhaustion IPv4 allocation mechanisms by the IANA - Last Call

[David Farmer]

Randy,

I found myself more or less repeating what Bill, John and Owen said 
already.  So, instead I will just say +1 to what they said and then ask 
you;

Does that clarify the issue for you?  And do you have any further 
concerns?

Thanks
