[arin-ppml] Against 2013-4

[Jason Schiller]

Bill,

I think I see the crux of the issue here.

If people want to throw out the current principles of stewardship,
and create a new set of principles that are better than the ones
we already have (maybe we got it wrong the first time), I support
that, and wish you the best of luck, but believe this to be a very
contentious and difficult to make progress.

I am trying to simply document our current stewardship principles,
and have mostly lifted text from RFC 2050, the NRPM and the
PDP, such that these guiding ideas do not get lost if RFC 2050
is deprecated.



Maybe a better way to phrase this question is:

If this draft policy is passed, what changes to the current ARIN
practices do you oppose?
