[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2016-1: Reserved Pool Transfer Policy

[Christoph Blecker]

I can't quite imagine a scenario that would merit an 8.3 transfer of
reserved pool IP space. I think the community is better served to encourage
reserved pool address holders to return the space back to the reserved pool
if the need they originally requested the address space for no longer
exists. As such, I prefer the original policy text.

I'd be open to changing my opinion if someone could explain a scenario
where an 8.3 transfer is preferable to requesting space from the free pool.

Cheers,
Christoph
