The AC issued the following statement:  “The AC, recognizing the community’s desire for more substantial revisions to the text of ARIN-2023-7 than permitted for a proposal in Recommended Draft Policy status, reverted this to Draft Policy in order to consider further revisions to the policy.”

You are encouraged to discuss all Draft Policies on PPML. The AC will evaluate the discussion to assess the conformance of this draft policy with ARIN's Principles of Internet number resource policy as stated in the Policy Development Process (PDP). Specifically, these principles are:

* Enabling Fair and Impartial Number Resource Administration
* Technically Sound
* Supported by the Community



The AC has abandoned the following:

*ARIN-2023-4: Modernization of Registration Requirements

The AC issued the following statement: “ARIN 2023-4 Modernization of Registration Requirements was presented at ARIN 53 , community feedback and polling results indicated there was no clear support for the adoption of this policy. Community comments included:
- The policy as written no longer provides a solution to the privacy section of problem statement.
- The policy as written contains outdated language, such as " SWIP" and "WHOIS" and should be replaced with modern language. 

Having discussed the feedback from the community, the AC believes this policy does not have the support of the community, in addition the AC agrees  policy no longer provides a viable solution to the problem expressed in the problem Statement.
Due to these factors the AC has taken the action to abandon this policy.”

Anyone dissatisfied with this decision may initiate a petition. This Petition request must occur within seven days after the announcement date of the Advisory Council action.
