[arin-ppml] Thoughts on 2015-7

I think the threshold is "unnecessarily difficult" rather than "too
difficult".

If we didn't have NRPM section 4 already, and had to set up rules for needs
assessment for transfers, I think we would end up with something a lot
closer to this draft policy than to the current section 4.  If so, that
would indicate that all the extra requirements in section 4 are probably no
longer serving a useful function, and just making transfer recipients' life
unnecessarily difficult.
