[arin-ppml] ARIN-PPML Digest, Vol 106, Issue 8 (Sandra Brown)

[CJ Aronson]

Milton if someone wants "ARIN to ease it's needs assessment requirements
for transfers" then there has to be a policy proposal submitted that gains
community support.  ARIN can't just change this without the process being
followed.  In the past the policies to ease needs assessment have not
gained community support but things change so who knows.
