[arin-ppml] Policy Proposal 95: Customer Confidentiality

[Member Services]

With the message below a petition has started regarding the ARIN
Advisory Council's decision to abandon Proposal 95: Customer
Confidentiality. ARIN staff posted on 21 January 2010 to PPML that the
ARIN Advisory Council (AC) had decided to abandon the proposal.

If successful, this petition will change Proposal 95 into a Draft Policy
which will be published for discussion and review by the community on
the PPML and at the Public Policy Meeting in April. If the petition
fails, the proposal will be closed.

For this petition to be successful, it will need statements of support
from at least 10 different people from 10 different organizations. If
you wish to support this petition, post a statement of support to PPML
on this thread. Point of contact information is required, either to the
entire PPML or with a follow up post to petition at arin.net with full POC
information (name, organization, street address, email, phone).

The duration of the petition is five business days; it will end on 4
February 2010. ARIN staff will post the result of the petition to PPML.
