[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2021-8: Deprecation of the 'Autonomous System Originations' Field

[David Farmer]

While I do not support the deprecation of the 'Autonomous System
Originations' Field from the database at this time for many of the reasons
discussed at the microphone at ARIN 49. Nevertheless, as discussed in the
problem statement this field has several problems and it eventually needs
to be deprecated. However, since this is an optional field within the ARIN
database, without any enforcement actions required by policy, it seems
possible to remove section 3.5 from the NRPM at this time, without also
deprecating the field at this time.

Further, this would set things up for the future deprecation of the
'Autonomous System Originations' Field from the database to proceed when
the community feels that is appropriate, as expressed through a separate
ARIN Consultation Process, without necessitating additional policy actions.

If this policy proposal were modified to only remove section 3.5 from the
NRPM at this time, with the deprecation of the 'Autonomous System
Originations' Field from the database occurring at some future date, to be
determined at a later time by the ARIN community, I would support this
policy proposal proceeding forward.

Thank you.
