[arin-ppml] ARIN-PPML Digest, Vol 106, Issue 8

[Owen DeLong]

I do find it interesting, Steven, that with all you have complained about “arbitrary policy” on this list, you have yet to submit a single proposal to change that policy.

Given that the policy was developed through community consensus of those that chose to participate here on this very list and at ARIN public policy meetings (in person or remotely), how can you call it “arbitrary”?

If you’d like help writing a proposal to get the policy you want, I am happy to help you. While I don’t agree with you, I still consider it part of my job as an elected member of the AC* to assist you in any way that I can to get your ideas for improving ARIN policy in front of the community.

* I say this only as my own opinion. While I express my belief about my job as an AC member, I am not expressing any official opinion of the ARIN AC or on behalf of ARIN or the AC in any way. I do not know to what extent the AC as a body or my fellow AC members would agree with my statement.

ARINs job should only be to get us resources that matches our size and record it in the public database.  That is ARINs Mission.
