[arin-ppml] ARIN-prop-162 Redefining request window in 4.2.4.4

[John Curran]

Cathy - 
 
  I believe that the intent of the proposal is to change the trigger 
  condition for going from a 12-month window to a 3-month window to 
  occur when the ARIN allocation pool transitions below one /8 of 
  IPv4 available space (rather than the previous "final 5 /8" event)
