All open proposals and draft policies have been transitioned to the new PDP. The following two draft policies are still in last call.

It remains on the AC's docket: ARIN-2012-2: IPv6 Subsequent Allocations Utilization Requirement The following two proposals are in the first stage of the policy development process. The AC will work with the originators to ensure that there are clear problem statements and policy text: ARIN-prop-182 Update Residential Customer Definition to not exclude wireless as Residential Service ARIN-prop-183 Section 8.4 Transfer enhancement All of these draft policies and proposals can be found at: https://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/ Regards, Communications and Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) From info at arin.net Tue Jan 15 10:03:18 2013 From: info at arin.net (ARIN) Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2013 10:03:18 -0500 Subject: [arin-announce] Register Now for ARIN Public Policy Consultation @ NANOG 57 Message-ID: <50F56FB6.5000704@arin.net> Registration is now open for ARIN's first Public Policy Consultation (PPC), which will be held during NANOG 57 in Orlando, FL on 5 February 2013 at the Renaissance Orlando at Seaworld.

Regards, Communications and Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) From info at arin.net Tue Jan 15 11:07:54 2013 From: info at arin.net (ARIN) Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2013 11:07:54 -0500 Subject: [arin-announce] ARIN Consultation: Changing the Voter Eligibility for ARIN Member Organizations Message-ID: <50F57EDA.3040203@arin.net> ARIN is seeking feedback from its membership about changing voting eligibility so that any ARIN web account linked to an Admin and/or Tech POC of a Member organization may cast the ballot for the organization's one vote in ARIN elections. This change would replace the Designated Member Representative (DMR) role in the ARIN elections and allow organizations to have more that one eligible voter. There is no change to the one vote per Organization ID rule. We are suggesting this change in order to increase participation in ARIN elections. This change would: * Allow organizations to have more than one eligible voter, thereby increasing the chances that someone would be available to cast a ballot * Eliminate the need for Members to create and update the DMR POC with its specialized email requirements Note: The benefit of allowing more than one individual the ability to cast the organization's one vote may in some cases require internal coordination to determine who will cast the vote. If a second individual attempts to vote, they will receive notification that their organization has already voted and they will not be able to cast a ballot. ARIN is seeking input from the community regarding this potential change, including whether it would be beneficial and if made, whether voting eligibility should be provided to Admin POCs or Admin and Tech POCs. You can read background on ARIN's existing processes of DMRs at: https://www.arin.net/about_us/membership/dmr.html You can read about ARIN's current Board and Advisory Council Election voting process at: https://www.arin.net/participate/elections/elec_procedures.html#voting Relevant Statistics: 89% of ARIN Members currently have a web account linked to either their Admin or Tech POC handle. 85% of ARIN Members currently have a web account linked to their Admin POC handle. In the 2012 elections 87% of Member organizations had a DMR that was eligible to vote. Please provide comments to arin-discuss at arin.net. Representatives from member organizations may subscribe to this list at: http://lists.arin.net/mailman/listinfo/arin-discuss Discussion will close on 12 February 2013. ARIN seeks clear direction from its members, so your feedback is important. If you have any questions, please contact us at info at arin.net.
