[arin-ppml] Waiting List IPv4 blocks transferred after issuance

[Fernando Frediani]

Yeah, if someone is leasing IP addresses means that he (the resource 
holder) doesn't have use for them anymore. As such ARIN (or any other 
RIR) should recover those addresses then. IP addresses were never made 
of thought to be leased in this way as asset that can be leased.
