[arin-ppml] 2011-7 Status FAIL

[Celeste Anderson]

All,

I am opposed to this policy as written ( the revised version).  I believe
that ARIN resources could be better directed to other efforts.

I believe the PPM had limited consensus and that the revisions proposed
prior to the last call motion addressed the majority of the objections.

I find it very interesting that you can characterize a simple majority+1 of
the AC as "all".

All but one (KB) of the objections prior to Bill Woodcock reflected
fundamental misunderstandings of the proposal text, so, it's hard to put
much stock in them.

Many of the other objections are about the existing policy language and not
the proposal itself.

When you distill those out, you're left with a pretty small minority
opposing the draft policy as written at the time. From those, the subsequent
modifications actually address most of the issues raised.

There are certainly those who say no. There are those who say yes.
Unfortunately, in the sea of comments on other aspects not even in this
proposal it was hard (at least for me) to actually gauge the level of
support or opposition to this particular aspect.

Finally, from the minutes you cited:

In relation to the second motion, whether the AC should be asked to continue
to work on it, the total number of people in the meeting room and by remote
are 167.  In favor of asking them to do further work on it were 57 and
against them doing further work on it is 6. 

So, while there was a relatively even split on whether to move it forward or
not (20:34), there was overwhelming support (57:6) for continuing to work on
it. In fact, more people favored continuing to work on it than voted at all
on whether or not to move it forward.

I'd say that's a pretty good reason for us to still be working on it.

Owen
