[arin-ppml] Draft Policy 2019-8 Clarification of Section 4.10 for Multiple Discrete Networks

[Nick Bogle]

I am in favor of this change. As a company that has multiple discrete
networks that have no realistic way of connecting them, one site gets
NAT64, then another site gets NAT64, but each site has to wait 6 months
before getting this capability. No one is going to realistically announce
less than a /24, so multiple /24 allocations one per network makes a lot of
sense to me.
