Hi Michael,

You're kind of straying from policy language to business process language.
The idea is that policy should tell ARIN -what- data it should require
while business process tells ARIN -how- to collect and maintain that data.
(Yes, 3.6.1 is badly written in that respect.)

So, you'd want words along the lines of, "must have published accurate and
complete utilization information and points of contact."

Also, throwing the language in this way could muddy things. Accurate
publication is conceptually separate from amount of utilization. 4.2.4 has
multiple subheadings, each with a distinct requirement for ISPs requesting
additional space. Consider whether this requirement would belong in a
separate subheading and, if it does, whether adding that separate
subheading would be better pursued in a separate policy proposal or if it
really needs to be attached to this one.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
