[arin-ppml] Recommended Draft Policy ARIN-2013-8: Subsequent Allocations for New Multiple Discrete Networks - Revised

[Martin Hannigan]

You get AC airline status upgrade karma points if you can tell me that this is meaningless then. 

From immediate need text :

"These cases are exceptional."

That doesn't sound easier. And is not current "undocumented" practice. 

And end users are still excluded. 

Abandon. Thanks.

Best,

Martin
