[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2020-2: Grandfathering of Organizations Removed from Waitlist by Implementation of ARIN-2019-16

I do not support the reintroduction of organizations onto the wait-list 
who were removed due to having existing address holdings larger than a 
/20.  Being on the wait-list was never a guarantee that you would 
receive space.  The AC had to balance the various elements of block size 
and organizations who would be eligible to receive space under the 
updated policy and we were aware that the rules as implemented would 
prevent some organizations on the wait-list from receiving blocks going 
forward.

Speaking only for myself, not the AC
