[arin-ppml] Micro-allocation policy proposal draft

[Andrew Dul]

David,

If the last section was changed to...

Other critical infrastructure such as core DNS service providers (e.g.
ICANN-sanctioned root and ccTLD operators) as well as the RIRs and IANA,
may receive allocations from ARIN, when operational need can be
demonstrated.

Would this alleviate your concerns?
