> OVERVIEW
> 
> The proposed PDP is intended to bring forth clear, 
> technically sound and useful policy; reduce overlapping 
> policy proposals; require both staff and legal assessments 
> before discussion; give adequate opportunity for discussion 
> prior to each public policy meeting; and provide a means of 
> review prior to possible adoption.  The proposed PDP empowers 
> the ARIN Advisory Council by shifting its scope from a policy 
> advisory body to a policy development body while providing 
> checks and balances and maintains an open and transparent 
> process. The checks and balances are provided through the 
> means to petition at various points in the PDP.
> 
> THE PETITION PROCESS
> 
> At each point in the process where a decision is made there 
> is a means for this decision to be overruled.

> 1. Submittal Petition. [10 days, maximum]

> If the staff and originator cannot reach an agreement on

> petition on the PPML (within 5 business days of a good faith 
> effort to reach agreement or after the end of the process 
> time limit for this step); the message must include the 
> proposal and a petition statement. The petition duration is 5
