[arin-ppml] Board Rejects "ARIN-prop-266: BGP Hijacking is an ARIN Policy Violation” Due to Scope

Thu Jul 11 13:35:00 EDT 2019

Hi Jordi,

It sounds like there was some miscommunication between us, and I appologize
for that.

>From what I understood of our conversation about the AC minutes, you felt I
had maligned your character in the meeting by saying that you had some
nefarious alternative motive for the proposal other than preventing
hijacking. I recall appologizing and telling you this was not my intention
and that I would check out the minutes and try and have them corrected if
that was what was recorded.

As you quoted, what was recorded was "AP stated that she believed that the
author was using ARIN to solve their problem." What I meant was that I
believed the author was using the ARIN policy development process to solve
the problem of BGP hijacking, which I believe is not a problem that falls
within the scope of ARIN policy. I chose not to try and have the minutes
changed or make a public statement because, given the context of the
discussion taking place at the meeting, I believed others reading the
minutes were likely to interpret the statement as intended.

However Jordi clearly still feels this is not the obvious interpretation,
so I'd like to take this opportunity to say that I do not believe that
Jordi was trying to do anything nefarious. I believe he was trying to solve
a real problem that exists, and that his goals were noble. I simply think
that ARIN policy is not the appropriate vehicle.

As for the statement about a previous LACNIC policy, Jordi is correct that
I was mistaken about that. There was a proposal in 2016 that struck me as
being out of scope in a very similar way as this one.  It turns out the
proposal I was reminded of was actually about settling IPv4-IPv6
connectivity disputes not about BGP hijacking. My appologies for the mixup.

I do not think the minutes need to be altered, because they accurately
reflect my memory of what was said.  I appologize if anyone interpreted my
statements as maligning Jordi's character. Nothing of the sort was intended.

Amy
