[arin-ppml] Policy discussion - Method of calculating utilization

[Scott Leibrand]

No, but I think it will be before any new policy proposal moving at "normal" speed takes effect. (The /24 minimum allocation size might take effect before then. If so, that will probably accelerate runout further.)

If you think (as I do) that this policy change would still be useful after runout when most requests result in a transfer, you could probably sidestep a lot of potential opposition by specifying that it would only go into effect after free pool runout, or would only affect transfers.
