[arin-ppml] Request for Feedback: Draft Policy ARIN-2024-8 Restrict the Largest Initial IPv6 Allocation to /20

[Scott Leibrand]

This:
- /16 is a reasonable limit, keep current NRPM
is a reasonable approximation of my position (expressed previously).

I'm opposed to the policy as written, and would vote for abandonment as
unnecessary.
