NANOGers - ARIN operates the number registry according to community-developed policies, but ultimately such policies are shaped by the folks in this community who choose to participate in their development. There are several significant policy proposals that will be considered at ARIN 41, and I’d recommend taking a moment to review them and either comment on our public policy mail list (arin-ppml@arin.net<mailto:arin-ppml@arin.net>) or participate in the upcoming meeting (onsite in Miami or remotely, as one prefers) Please see the attached email summarizing potential changes to number resource policy that will be discussed at ARIN 41 two weeks from today.
