[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2024-1: Definition of Organization ID/Org ID

[David Farmer]

The definition below does more than define the term Organization ID/Org ID.
It also defines who is entitled to receive an Org ID and, effectively, who
is entitled to receive resources from ARIN.

Maybe defining who is entitled to receive an Org ID is unnecessary.
However, if necessary, we must discuss who should be entitled to an Org ID
and, therefore, resources from ARIN.

According to John Sweeting's email, "Individuals may as “Sole Proprietors”
receive resources from ARIN for use in the operation of their business
operations."

Others think this is an unnecessary restriction and that individuals should
be able to receive resources without the status of sole proprietor.

To have an informed opinion about this issue, I need to understand better
the business or legal purpose of ARIN's current sole proprietor
requirement.

Thanks
