Hi Shawn,

I note that the practical question of "how do I submit a policy
proposal" is not answered in
https://www.arin.net/participate/policy/pdp/, or if it is, it's buried
so deeply I can't find it.

What you probably want is the policy proposal template, which you can
find here: https://www.arin.net/participate/policy/pdp/appendix_b/

You can also discuss policy changes here on the mailing list without
making a formal proposal. That would enable you to gather information
which could inform a formal proposal.

I recommend you sift through the mailing list archives at
https://lists.arin.net/pipermail/arin-ppml/ and read the original
discussions around proposal 2003-1. This can help you understand what
defects in that proposal led to it failing to reach consensus.

Finally, I note that there have been other off and on discussions
about the published POCs and their utility. It might be worth digging
into them as well. Try a Google search such as, "site:lists.arin.net
abuse poc"

Regards,
Bill Herrin
