[arin-ppml] Policy Experience Report Working Group Leasing Question

[Ron Grant]

Pitch perfect points herein:
- Transfer market already successful
- Avoids a "highly litigious reclamation process"
- Leasing is a natural evolution of the Transfer process
- Section 12 allows both for a reclamation due to misuse, and for a 
green light after 5 years.

I withdraw my initial "can o' worms" objection - when likening them to 
transfers, it looks like we already have controls in place.
