ARIN requested further discussion on this subject August 29, although the
connection to the far-ranging discussions that ensued may not be clear.

I have not checked, but it's possible that this policy had not been
discussed on the list prior to the previous member meeting (as Randy
notes).  If so, that would seem to have been an oversight.

I am also thinking that, while discussions like this should be HELD on
ppml at arin.net, maybe they should be ANNOUNCED on some other relevant lists,
such as nanog?
