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

[Owen DeLong]

I think it is skewing prices (more expensive) and creating incentives for people
to use the transfer market rather than obtaining space from ARIN while there is
still a free pool.

This is harmful in multiple ways:

First, making things more expensive is rarely beneficial to the community as
a whole.

Second, making the ARIN free pool last artificially longer will only further
the disconnect between ARIN runout and runout in the rest of the world.
We're already seeing negative impacts from this  and I believe that situation
will get worse if we continue to allow the skew to expand.
