Nanog Folks - Your participation makes a significant difference in the ARIN number resource policy, and while you may think that there's not much going on, the truth is that there are significant number of policy proposals at any given moment, and to the extent that you care about the actual policies used in number resource management, it would be very helpful if you could read and comment on policies while they are being developed. Please find attached the results of the last Advisory Council (AC) meeting; discussions of these proposals are taking place on the ARIN PPML mailing list and are open to all parties. Information on the Policy Development Process, the PPML mailing list, and the current proposals are all included in the attached message. Thanks! /John John Curran President and CEO ARIN Begin forwarded message: From: ARIN <info@arin.net<mailto:info@arin.net>> Date: February 3, 2011 4:44:40 PM EST To: arin-ppml@arin.net<mailto:arin-ppml@arin.net> Subject: [arin-ppml] Advisory Council Meeting Results - January 2011 In accordance with the ARIN Policy Development Process (PDP), the ARIN Advisory Council (AC) held a meeting on 28 January 2011 and made decisions about several draft policies and proposals. The AC recommended that the ARIN Board of Trustees adopt the following draft policy: ARIN-2010-14: Standardize IP Reassignment Registration Requirements The AC selected the following proposals as draft policies for adoption discussion online and at the ARIN XXVII Public Policy Meeting in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Each draft policy will be posted shortly to the PPML. ARIN-prop-119. Globally Coordinated Transfer Policy ARIN-prop-120. Protecting Number Resources ARIN-prop-121. Better IPv6 Allocation for ISPs ARIN-prop-123. Reserved Pool for Critical Infrastructure ARIN-prop-127. Shared Transition Space for IPv4 Address Extension The AC added the following proposal to their docket but decided not to select it as a draft policy at this time: ARIN-prop-126. Compliance Requirement The AC abandoned the following proposals: ARIN-prop-128. Replacement of Section 4.2.4.4 ARIN-prop-129. IPv4 Addresses for Process Participants ARIN-prop-130. IPv4 Transition Reservation for Every ASN The AC abandoned ARIN-prop-128 due to opposition on the list, and because there is insufficient time to implement the proposal through the normal PDP. As a result, the proposal would need to be a Board Emergency PDP action to have any effect. The AC understands that the use of the emergency process requires that there be significant risk to ARIN should the Board allow a situation to continue. This matter does not warrant the use of the emergency process. The AC abandoned ARIN-prop-129 and ARIN-prop-130 because they violate the community principle of needs-based assignments. The PDP states, “Any member of the community, including a proposal originator, may initiate a Discussion Petition if they are dissatisfied with the action taken by the Advisory Council regarding any specific policy proposal.” Proposals 126, 128, 129 and 130 may be petitioned (Discussion Petition) to try to change them into draft policies for adoption discussion on the Public Policy Mailing List and at the April Public Policy Meeting. The deadline to begin a petition will be five business days after the AC's draft meeting minutes are published. For more information on starting and participating in petitions, see PDP Petitions at: https://www.arin.net/policy/pdp_petitions.html Draft Policy and Policy Proposal texts are available at: https://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/index.html The ARIN Policy Development Process can be found at: https://www.arin.net/policy/pdp.html Regards, Communications and Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) _____________________________________________ PPML You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to the ARIN Public Policy Mailing List (ARIN-PPML@arin.net).
