They bring together influential industry professionals, government representatives, and leaders in the Internet community in an open and productive forum. To see the kind of discussions and presentations given at ARIN meetings, please see our previous meeting reports at http://www.arin.net/meetings/minutes/ We would like to invite interested organizations to sponsor an event or function at this important and exciting gathering of the Internet community.

Available sponsorship opportunities include: * ARIN's exciting and popular social event * Webcast of the ARIN XX Public Policy and Members Meetings * Breakfasts, Lunches, or Refreshment Breaks * Cyber CafC3A9 * Giveaways and Raffle Drawings The benefits of sponsoring a meeting event are: * ARIN offers public acknowledgements of meeting event sponsors during daily public announcements, on the meeting website, and on meeting materials and communications. * Sponsors of meeting-related events receive the positive exposure of being associated with a well-regarded, professional, and organized event that includes policy and technical discussions, interaction with colleagues, and information about the global Internet community. * Continuous recognition following the meeting on the 'Past Sponsors' web page and meeting minute archives. * Sponsorship provides organizations a venue to emphasize a commitment not just to ARIN, but the entire community as well. ARIN offers a variety of sponsorship opportunities and your organization could commit for as little as $2,000. Concerned that your organization can't commit to sponsoring an event by itself? Contact us and we'll work with you to help find other organizations willing to co-sponsor an event, or we can work with you to tailor a sponsorship to your needs.

As a result, community members have expressed renewed interest in the ARIN policy process. Anyone may participate in the open and transparent policy development process. The Internet Resource Policy Evaluation Process (IRPEP) details how a proposal becomes a policy. IRPEP is available at: http://www.arin.net/policy/irpep.html After you are familiar with the IRPEP submitting a policy proposal is simple. 1. Fill out the policy proposal template available at: http://www.arin.net/policy/irpep_template.html 2. Submit it to policy at arin.net 3. Your proposal will be posted to the Public Policy Mailing List and forwarded to the Advisory Council for consideration to be numbered as a formal proposal. If you have any questions, you may send those to policy at arin.net as well. A new animated feature describes the policy process and explains how you can participate. Watch the tutorial at: http://www.arin.net/education/cbt/IRPEP/ Policy proposal discussions occur on the Public Policy Mailing List (PPML) and at biannual Public Policy meetings. Subscribe to the PPML today and plan to attend ARIN XX in Albuquerque, NM! http://lists.arin.net/mailman/listinfo/ppml http://www.arin.net/ARIN-XX/ Contact Member Services at info at arin.net if you have any questions.

The Board found strong community support for ARIN to use crypto authentication mechanisms whenever possible and to implement PGP as soon as possible. However, the Board believes that the use of crypto authentication mechanisms is an operational matter and not an Internet number resource policy matter, and thus did not adopt these as policy proposals. Instead, the Board has directed staff to implement crypto authentication mechanisms (specifically including PGP) on all communications concerning the management of Internet number resources whenever feasible. It further directed the staff to implement the use of PGP as soon as possible. The Board recommended that ARIN staff develop training materials to assist those communicating with ARIN about the management of Internet number resources in making use of crypto authentication mechanisms in their communication with ARIN. The Board of Trustees would like to thank the Advisory Council and the authors for their work in advancing these functional proposals." *********************************************** The PGP crypto authentication method will be implemented not later than 15 September 2007.
