[arin-ppml] Advisory Council Meeting Results - September 2024

[ARIN]

In accordance with the Policy Development Process (PDP), the Advisory Council met on 19 September 2024.

The AC has advanced the following to Recommended Draft Policy status (will be posted separately for discussion):

---------
*ARIN-2023-7: Clarification of NRPM Sections 4.5 and 6.11 Multiple Discrete Networks

AC Assessment of Conformance with the Principles of Internet Number Resource Policy:

Based on community feedback and AC discussion, we have promoted ARIN-2023-7: Clarification of NRPM Sections 4.5 and 6.11 Multiple Discrete Networks to Recommended Draft Policy. This Draft Policy is fair, impartial, and technically sound; it will add clarity and readability to the NRPM sections being updated by this proposal.

---------
*ARIN-2024-2: Whois Data Requirements Policy for Non-Personal Information 

AC Assessment of Conformance with the Principles of Internet Number Resource Policy:

Following a review of community feedback, staff and legal recommendations, and AC discussions, Draft Policy ARIN-2024-2: Whois Data Requirements Policy for Non-Personal Information, was found to conform to the principles of the ARIN Policy Development Process.  Based on being fair, impartial, and technically sound, this Draft Policy was moved to Recommended Draft state. If adopted by the board, it would further clarify what information is collected and published via ARIN's public Whois service.

---------
*ARIN-2024-9: Remove Outdated Carveout for Community Networks

AC Assessment of Conformance with the Principles of Internet Number Resource Policy:

ARIN policy 2024-9 “Remove Carveout for Community Networks” is fair and impartial, technically sound and has the support of the community to move to recommended status.  The policy, if adopted, will retire sections 2.11 and 6.5.9 regarding Community Networks from the NRPM as there is no longer any advantage to obtaining space as a community network, and qualifying for community space is in fact more difficult than without the community requirements.


The AC advances Draft Policies to Recommended Draft Policy status once they have been fully developed and meet ARIN's Principles of Internet Number Resource Policy. Specifically, these principles are:

* Enabling Fair and Impartial Number Resource Administration
* Technically Sound
* Supported by the Community


The AC is continuing to work on:
