from where i sit, jason's draft takes ARIN's position, both current and
prior.

i disagree that current guiding principles are by definition noncontentious.

if you would like to test the waters regarding a change to ARIN's
guiding principle in the future, there's a policy process available to you.

but hijacking a relatively tame proposal which would merely keep the
status quo, because here and now is a convenient place and time to
advance your own cause, is unprofessional.
