[arin-ppml] Community Networks (Was Draft Policy ARIN-2016-6: Eliminate HD-Ratio from NRPM)

[David Farmer]

Yes, this removes the Caribbean and rural text that is in the current
Community Networks policy.  I believe that was intentional, maybe it should
be noted in the comments to make that clear.  Or, do you believe we should
keep that or similar text?

Additional comments on this policy would be appreciated.

Thanks.
