[arin-ppml] ARIN-2011-1: ARIN Inter-RIR Transfers - Last Call

[Bill Darte]

Bill,

I appreciate your concern for the policy process and asking for clarification is a fine and useful mechanism for all to gain a more complete understanding.  Questioning John Curran about whether he is representing ARIN or himself when he is clearing speaking about the PDP and signing his emails in an official manner as the President of ARIN seems to be less useful.

Furthermore, I do not believe that you interpret the changes to the Draft Policy correctly by stating that it is a new policy.  But, for clarification, please help us all understand precisely where you interpret the changes in the modified text to change the character, intent or the will of the community for an Inter-regional transfer policy.

Thanks,

bd

Is this John Curran's opinion or is this the President of ARIN's
ruling on the process question as it relates to draft 2011-1?

The original text has all of the faults that have been attributed to
it in this thread. It was not expressed in clear, actionable policy
language and was indubitably in need of editing. The last thing I want
to do is petition for that text to be sent to last call.

In my opinion, the draft on the table IS NOT an edited version of that
text. This is probably a good thing. Purely from a "is this well
written actionable policy text," Scott's document is structurally
superior. But when you write a whole new proposal, it's a new
proposal. Throwing away a document and writing a new one is not a
change to the document, it's a new document.

And it should be treated as a new document.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
