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

[Owen DeLong]

Technically, deprecating it from whois is outside of the remit of the PDP, I suppose… That’s an ARIN operational matter and would probably best be pursued through the ACSP.

However, I do support the removal of section 3.5 from the NRPM and I am in favor of removing this field from WHOIS as soon as practicable.

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.
