[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2014-21: Modification to CI Pool Size per Section 4.4

[David Farmer]

Thank you Andrew,

I believe your proposed text is consistent with the problem statement of 
this policy, and provides additional editorial clean up of Section 4.4 
that at least in my opinion provides additional clarity.

How do others feel about this proposed text?  Should we go forward with 
this text?

Thanks
