[ppml] Markets, pricing, transparency, 2008-2 / 8.3.9

[cja@daydream.com]

I have to agree with Owen.  I believe that we even said what is outlined
below on February 7th when the AC sent out a note to ppml.  It included:

" We are aware that this proposal, if adopted, will mark a major change in
ARIN's role in the community and the Internet. While the AC as a whole
believes the policy proposal to be well written and carefully
considered, we are not unanimous in all aspects of the policy proposal,
nor even are we united in the view that the proposed policy should be
adopted. We hope this policy proposal will spark debate and discussion,
and we look forward to getting additional community input on the topic.
 The AC as members of the ARIN community believe in the bottom up
process, and we urge the community to give this proposal the same
consideration and discussion they would give any other proposal."

At the current time I am personally not in favor of this policy as written.
I look forward to the discussion at the meeting and I have been following
closely the discussion on this list.  If after evaluating all the discussion
I feel that this policy is the best thing for the community then I will be
in favor.  The most important thing about this policy proposal and the
reason that I supported writing it.. is that it is essential that the ARIN
community has detailed discussions of this issue and how we as a community
are going to deal with it.

Thanks!
----Cathy
