[arin-ppml] ARIN-prop-208 Reduce All Minimum Allocation/Assignment Units to /24

[Martin Hannigan]

Owen, no one is surprised you're minimizing the changes. Of course you are.
:-) That's alright. The point here is that if this is to become "law"
sooner than later ARIN needs much more than the usual weak support.

The redline that you all chose to put forth appears to be little more than
lipstick on a pig. It certainly appears that you are adding more vagueness
to policy than clarity, thereby increasing the potential for misapplication
by the organization. You should be concerned.

Best,
