[ppml] AC Initial Review: Unique Addresses for Private Interconnections

[Member Services]

This message contains the ARIN Advisory Council's finding regarding the
initial 10-day review of proposed policy, "Unique Addresses for Private
Interconnections".

During the initial review period the AC has to decide whether a proposed
policy merits further discussion or if it should be closed.  The AC has
three options, the AC can: 
  1)  support moving the proposed policy (as is) forward in the
evaluation process.
  2)  reach an agreement with the author to work together on the
proposed policy and to move it forward in the evaluation process. 
  3)  decide not to support moving the proposed policy forward in the
evaluation process.

Policies that are moved forward in the evaluation process are formally
numbered, posted online for discussion, and presented at ARIN's Public
Policy Meeting.

In the event that the Advisory Council and the author can not reach an
agreement, or that the Advisory Council decides not to support the
proposed policy, then the author may elect to use the petition process
to advance their proposal.  The following is a link to the ARIN Internet
Resource Policy Evaluation Process; for petition details please refer to
the section called "Petition Process":

Concerning the proposed policy, Unique Addresses for Private
Interconnections by Bill Copeland, which was posted to PPML on 2/19/2004,
and noting that the AC is not making a statement of endorsement, the AC
has reached an agreement with the author to work together on this
proposed policy and move it forward in the evaluation process. 

It is the intent of the AC that this proposed policy be combined with
another, Connective Private Network Allocations by Marla Azinger, and
that the AC and authors work together to create a single policy proposal
which will be posted prior to the 30 day deadline for the upcoming
meeting.
