[arin-ppml] Revised - Draft Policy ARIN-2017-5: Improved IPv6 Registration Requirements

[Owen DeLong]

I refer you to section 6.5.1…

6.5.1. Terminology

The terms ISP and LIR are used interchangeably in this document and any use of either term shall be construed to include both meanings. 
The term nibble boundary shall mean a network mask which aligns on a 4-bit boundary (in slash notation, /n, where n is evenly divisible by 4, allowing unit quantities of X such that 2^n=X where n is evenly divisible by 4, such as 16, 256, 4096, etc.)

While it is a little unusual to have definitions outside of section 2, these were placed here in section 6.5.1 in order to avoid potential conflicts with certain language that was in section 4 at the time of writing.

Shouldn't this says "LIR" or "provider" or some other more generic term?
