[arin-ppml] Policy Proposal -- Normalize Free pool and Transfer justification periods

[aaron at wholesaleinternet.net]

I think consistancy is always good and I support this proposal.  I do have
one question, Owen.

What damage specifically do you think the current 3 month / 24 month
discrepency is having on the transfer market?
