[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2017-7: Retire Obsolete Section 4 From the NRPM

Tue Jul 18 20:50:00 EDT 2017

If there is general community support for pruning back section 4 now
that run-out has happened and section 8 contains the transfer
requirements.  I can pull out my previous drafts and revise and present
those as alternatives to this specific draft text.
