[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2012-5: Removal of Renumbering Requirement for Small Multihomers

[Tony Hain]

While I think the proposal is fine as written, if it does need tweaking to
move forward, how about shifting the focus from 'required' renumbering to
'encouraged'. One way to implement that would be to set different
utilization requirements. Something like; if you renumber you only need to
meet 2/3 the utilization of when you don't. 

I don't particularly support a waiting requirement, but if one needs to
exist, one year seems more than long enough. There are O^ 250k /24's in the
ARIN pool. You can't process them fast enough for 'handing out like candy'
to be a problem.
