[arin-ppml] 2014-14, was Internet Fairness

[Milton L Mueller]

I don't think you're getting the concept of small, Bill. Take a look at  the statistics that were gathered about what proportion of the number space a number of /18s and below would consist of. It's less than 10% of the overall transfer market, and an even smaller portion of the overall address space.  Even with /16s I think the number was 17%. 

Let's also not forget this is about transfers, not initial allocations from the free pool. In other words, the numbers involved are already out there, being hoarded. This policy just makes it a lot easier to free them up for more intensive use.
