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

[Owen DeLong]

I would rather see this simply state when the ARIN free pool has
less than one /8 of space remaining, notwithstanding reservations
under NRPM 4.4 and 4.10 rather than the convoluted retroactive
phrasing in the current proposal text.

Otherwise, I would support the proposal.
