[arin-ppml] Open Petition for ARIN-2020-2

Thu Jan 14 12:03:09 EST 2021

Michael,

It may be useful to delineate the two elements of the process in the PDP and how they will be conducted.

The current stage is that staff are counting the number of individuals that voice support for the policy in question to be moved to the Board of Trustees for consideration. The PDP has always kept low thresholds for petition processes as a petition doesn’t automatically adopt a policy but simply advances it further in the process.  At this point, staff are only evaluating the criteria that there be 25 individuals in the time period indicated and that those individuals not be from the same organization to determine if the petition is successful.

If the threshold is met the policy will be put before the Board of Trustees for consideration. The Board does not “count” the votes when weighing community support or the policy. The Board instead will need to weigh quite a bit of data against the Principles of Internet Number Resource Policy stated in the PDP and this includes community support. The Board will ultimately come to its own view as to whether the policy change meets the criteria, as a successful petition simply brings it before them for consideration.

The Board (and staff) are observing this process and comments on the list will be considered. The community (including the AC) should feel free to, and are fact highly encouraged to, engage in meaningful discussion of the merits of the policy. If members of the community have questions for other community members they are free to ask those. The only reminder is any such discussion MUST follow the ARIN Mailing List Appropriate Usage Policy.

The Board appreciates all those who engage in this process and strongly encourages everyone in the community to engage here. Our decision process is always enhanced by plentiful community input.

Cheers,

Paul

If anyone is given consideration, what is to stop people from lobbying individuals and other organizations to send an email to support their agenda? For example, I could very easily find 500 people to respond to this email saying they do not support the policy. If I were a malicious actor trying to influence policy discussion and were to offer some sort of incentive for those to reply I could easily have thousands of organizations supporting this policy one way or another.
