[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2024-5: Rewrite of NRPM Section 4.4 Micro-Allocation

[Owen DeLong]

I think the best resolution here would be to move all definitional text for IX in both proposals into a proposed (and identical) definition in NRPM section 2 and then it’s harmonious and not in need of future synchronization regardless of whether either or both proposals are adopted.

Since the AC has editorial control over both draft policies at this point, I trust that they can take care of this between now and advancement to recommended draft.

The other bullet points represent qualification criteria relevant to the allocation being considered. It makes sense to be written this way now because there is no IX definition in policy yet or until 2024-4 is completed.
