[arin-ppml] ARIN-prop-172 Additional definition for NRPM Section 2 - Legacy Resources

[Owen DeLong]

Opposed as written.

The good parts of this proposal are effectively a no-op.

Section 2 is overreaching and invalidates many past returns in  a
way likely to b harmful to multiple parties.

This would create a new and undesirable ability to preserve legacy
status of resources through a transfer.
