	True. However there is a fair amount of debate/discussion on
	opening up the bits to the left. The presumption is that the
	/48 is a done deal and for ARIN, its not yet.  Hence my desire
	to proceed with the package (nearly) as currently stated.
	I don;t beleive we will have an RFC of this topic ready before
	the board is ready to consider the proposed policy and so
	in referencing material that is, in another fourm, still in
	draft format, should not be a significant problem. It was not
	a problem for APNIC or RIPE.
