[arin-ppml] Prop-151: Clarifying requirements for IPv4 transfers (was "Limiting needs...")

[David Farmer]

I just had a though; While I doubt this would happen that much, I'm not 
sure it is in the communities interest to prevent such a scenario either.

So, would this language prevent an organizations from swapping address 
space to prevent the fragmentation and disaggregation of a larger block.

In other words, an organization has a /16 and only needs a /20 could the 
receive the transfer of a /20 and then transfer the whole /16.  In this 
case the organizations desire to maximize it financial return by 
transferring a larger block also facilitates the communities desire to 
reduce fragmentation and increase aggregation.

And this scenario would require transfers in multiple directions that I 
think the language being discussed is intended to prevent.
