[arin-ppml] Revised - Draft Policy ARIN-2022-12: Direct Assignment Language Update

[John Curran]

Bill - 

Agreed that the language is oriented to those with existing ARIN context (although this may 
be somewhat inevitable given that we’re clarifying the deprecation of ARIN-specific jargon…) 

Do you have any suggestions for improving the policy text?

Thanks,
/John
