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

[John Curran]

That is correct – ARIN’s Policy Development Process <https://www.arin.net/participate/policy/pdp/> explicitly recognizes that (nearly) any interested party may participate –

"Policy Proposals may be submitted to the ARIN Policy Development Process (PDP) by anyone in the global Internet community except for members of the ARIN Board of Trustees or the ARIN staff. "

(Note that the exclusion of ARIN Staff and ARIN Trustees is intentional due to these individuals already having a formally defined role in the Policy Development Process…)

Thanks!

Ronald,

I may even further add onto John's excellent explanation that the individuals within this community do not even have to reside in the ARIN service region to participate in ARIN policy discussions!

Hi Louie

That is very true and I am one such participant.

Hi Ronald -

"Members" are people (or more typically corporations or other legal entities)
that have purchased an ARIN membership.  I think in general, this comes along
with purchasing ARIN resources, i.e. requesting IP addresses or ASN's, signing
an RSA, and paying an annual fee.  Members get to nominate and vote for
candidates for the ARIN board and (I think) other ARIN positions.  They also get
to participate in some internal discussions such as those about fee schedules
and the like.

ARIN policy is decided by the "Community", which is open to anyone interested in
the subject.  You don't need to be a member to propose, discuss or vote on
policy, or to join the policy discussion mailing list (i.e. this list.)  There
are a certain very limited set of topics, mostly fees, that are not regarded as
"policy" and can't be decided by the community, but practically anything else is
fair game.

As a human being (or a reasonably capable facsimile thereof) who is interested
in Internet Governance (whatever that is), you certainly qualify and your vote
counts!  Welcome to the Community!
