[arin-ppml] ARIN Draft Policy 2014-2 Improving 8.4 Anti-Flip Language

[Owen DeLong]

Given that the existing wording definitely had a lack of consensus and that there has been no proposed wording to address the issues raised by the community, unless someone has a proposal for wording that is more likely to gain consensus, I am inclined to support Bill’s idea of abandoning this proposal.

Reiterating support for the existing failed language is not useful in this context. The community as a whole clearly did not achieve consensus on this language.

There has been very limited support expressed for the idea in general.
