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

[Brian Jones]

Speaking for myself, I oppose this draft policy. In my opinion even though there is no legal binding to this attestation, there is a substantial organization awareness level that having an officer attestation brings to those beyond the IT or technical teams. This type of awareness helped me in efforts to bring our legacy resources under an RSA agreement.

Thanks also to staff for summarizing the result of the ACSP Consultation 2021.4 retiring the officer attestation requirement for documentation of needs assessment.

In order to have the experts address this concern, I (along with my fellow policy shepherd Joe) have requested a staff and legal review. Our hope is that staff (and legal counsel in particular) might directly weigh in on how important the officer attestation is.
