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

[Matthew Kaufman]

I'd support this if it was >12 months. At 12 months it'd just roll back 
the proposal to at least move the non-free-pool to 24 months.

But really, they're two different animals. The free pool (in theory) you 
can come back to when the time is up. The paid transfer on the other 
hand, you have no idea if there will be sellers, what the prices will 
be, etc. So you really need to be sure you're buying enough when 
spending that much money.

So the only argument in favor of extending the free pool timing is that 
you believe you *can't* come back to the free pool, or that somehow 
people feel better buying 12 months now instead of getting free pool 
every 3 months for the next 12 months.

What I *think* is really going on is that the buyers on the current 
transfer market are buying way more than 3 or even 12 months worth of 
space, but the price paid is worth fighting to have the transfer recognized.
