[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2014-21: Modification to CI Pool Size per Section 4.4

[David Farmer]

This Draft Policy was discussed at the PPC in San Antonio last month, 
the meeting report for the PPC is at the following link;

https://www.arin.net/participate/meetings/reports/ppc_nanog63/index.html

And there is a staff and legal assessment of the Draft Policy posted at;

https://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/2014_21.html

At the PPC there was some opposition expressed, basically that an 
additional reservation for the CI pool is not justified based on use of 
the current reservation.  However, I feel the community in general 
supports this Draft Policy, and still thinks the expanded reservation is 
justified.

There was a suggestion to modify the text to provide additional 
editorial clean up of Section 4.4, however given the feedback received 
so far, I'd suggest we stick with the text as-is, and deal with these 
issues elsewhere.

So, as shepherd for this Draft Policy I plan to ask the AC to advance 
this Draft Policy to Recommended Draft Policy on our next call, and 
present this as Recommended Draft Policy at the PPM next month in San 
Francisco.

However, if anyone thinks the previously proposed editorial changes or 
any other changes to the text are necessary please speak up ASAP, as the 
text will need to be frozen for the PPM within the next week or so.

Thanks.
