[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2022-3: Remove Officer Attestation Requirement for 8.5.5

[Matthew Wilder]

Hi PPML,

Staff and Legal review has been conducted for Draft Policy ARIN-2022-3. The
relevant bit for the community to consider is the legal review, which is as
follows:
"No material legal issue. Removal of the officer attestation would not
materially impact ARIN’s ability to pursue cases of fraud."

As shepherds, we believe this directly resolves the primary concern voiced
by members of the community.

For the full staff and legal review, please check the following:

Regards,

*Matthew Wilder*
