[arin-ppml] ARIN-2013-4: RIR Principles / Request for General Thoughts

[George Herbert]

I believe that the question is too nuanced for a straight yes/no at this
time, as my personal opinion.

I believe that there's a clear status quo answer, but I don't believe that
it's a good time to restate or retrench the status quo without a deeper
discussion about the status quo's flaws.  That's not "this must change" but
"I can't honestly agree with any simple statement on this point at this
time, absent further consensus seeking".
