[arin-ppml] Advisory Council Recommendation Regarding NRPM 4.1.8. Unmet Requests

[Fernando Frediani]

Everything that is in the waiting list should be limited to a /22 per 
request.

There is no sense nor is reasonable now a days to fulfill a request to a 
/18 or even a /15 which is the case there.

Perhaps it can be adjusted at some point and more people can be more 
fairly served.

Regards
Fernando
