[arin-ppml] ARIN-prop-161 and 162

[David Farmer]

With twenty-twenty hide-sight it was premature to trigger the change to 
3 months at IANA run-out, we ended up with way more addresses than 
anyone realistically expected.  I think resetting the trigger to an 
equivalent of a /8 in the free pool, excluding the special reservations 
we've made, is appropriate.

However, I have a question for the community, do you want to discuss 
only a draft policy based on ARIN-prop-162 in Vancouver or would you 
also like to discuss a draft policy based on ARIN-prop-161 also?

Personally, I would be incline to only move a draft policy based on 
ARIN-prop-162 forward for adoption discussion in Vancouver.  Although, I 
see no harm in also moving a version of ARIN-prop-161 forward for 
discussion if there is interest in the community to discuss it as well.
