[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2017-2: Removal of Community Networks

[Jason Schiller]

I would offer a friendly amendment to Scott's request to open the
question up more generally...  (we should not confuse if a policy
is being used, with if it is needed).

Can "Community Networks" please chime into this thread
and explain one (or all) of the following:

1. Why are you (or other communities networks in general)
having or had trouble getting resources?

2. Is the current policy is sufficient for you
(and other community networks like you)
to get space without sections 2.11 and 6.5.9?

3. Do you (and others like you) believe they should
qualify under "Community Networks" but do not because
the definition is overly narrow?
[explain how we might extend the definition to cover you]

4. Did you get space under a different policy,
but still believe you would have been better served
if you were able to fit under the "Communities Networks"
definition?

If we don't hear from "community networks" by the time we discuss
this as a recommended draft then I would support the removal.

If we do hear from "community networks" then I would use their
advice to determine if special consideration for community networks
is useful or not, and if the current policy meets their needs, requires
modification, or is completely unneeded.

Please note if you think you should be considered a community network,
and why. (e.g. I am Your Neighborhood Net.  We should be considered a
community network because we offer "free" WiFi to our community.  We
hold monthly meetings that cost $10 / person, but half of that covers the
price of the pizza, the rest is a donation for our ISP fees and replacement
equipment.  Occasionally, a community member will buy and donate an
access point so they can get better coverage, or speed.  Neither
Your Neighborhood Net, nor people associated with it make any money)

Please ask any community networks you know to chime in on this thread!
