[arin-announce] ARIN XXI - Open Policy Hour

[Member Services]

Questions about the Policy Process:
1. Do you want to know what policy proposals will be discussed at the
upcoming ARIN Public Policy Meeting?
2. Do you have an idea about how ARIN should manage Internet Number
Resources?
3. Do you think that a current policy should be enhanced or changed, or
even retired?
4. Are you hesitant about making a formal proposal on the Public Policy
Mail List (PPML)?
5. Are you new to the Policy Development Process?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then you should attend
the Open Policy Hour!

Come and get a better understanding of what will be discussed during the
upcoming Public Policy Meeting, or discuss and receive feedback on your
ideas in an open, informal forum. The Open Policy Hour consists of two
parts.

Part One is the Policy Proposal Background Briefing. ARIN staff will
provide an overview of the policy proposals on the meeting agenda.
Members of the ARIN Advisory Council will be present to answer general
questions about these proposals. The proposal content will not be
discussed. This session offers general information on the nature of the
proposals.

Part Two is the Policy Proposal BoF. This is where you can "test drive"
a policy idea. How can you participate? Bring your ideas and questions.
If you have a policy suggestion, but would like to receive feedback
prior to submitting it to the community on the PPML, here is your
opportunity. Preference will be given to individuals with prepared short
(3-minute) presentations. To sign up in advance please send an e-mail to
policy at arin.net by 2 April 2008 with your name, organization, and a
brief description of your policy subject. Walk-up presenters are also
welcome.

Join your colleagues for this informal session. The Open Policy Hour for
ARIN XXI will be held on Sunday, 6 April, from 4:30 - 5:30 PM. If you
are not familiar with the way policies are developed in the ARIN region,
join ARIN staff a half hour earlier, at 4:00 PM, for a review of the
Internet Resource Policy Evaluation Process.
