I do not believe that ARIN staff shot down the proposal.  I do  
believe that they
expressed concerns about the proposal, some of which were specious in my
opinion, but, nonetheless, I do not believe staff killed this proposal.

While I did support the proposal, I honestly believe that the AC,  
faced with
a 50/50 split in the room and a relatively even split argument on the  
mailing
list leading up to the meeting did not have any way to consider that  
there
was consensus.  I do believe that the AC should have opted to work with
the author on a redraft addressing the concerns expressed, and, I  
believe
that we will eventually see a proposal which addresses these needs and
these concerns in the future.  Such a proposal may be limited to IPv6,
however, by the time it sees the light of day.  I do hope it comes  
sooner.
