Xavier -

Appreciate the feedback and question. When considering policy, it’s encouraged to consider the policy exclusively on the merits and not on cost. If it’s good policy, it should be implemented and if not, it should be abandoned. This keeps us focused on whether policy is sound or not. A sound policy can be expensive, and an unsound one can be cheap.

Hope that helps, though I know it doesn’t directly answer your question - we’d love to get your feedback on your views on what we should do with the policy.

Thanks!


Doug

My feedback on this policy depends on what the "implementation cost" (referenced in the last paragraph of the Legal Review section) will be. Making it easier to access resources is probably worth $10,000 but is probably not worth $250,000, IMO. Do we have a ballpark estimate?

Thank you,
Xavier Clark

Hello PPML,

I'm shepherding this policy along with Doug Camin. We're seeking direction from the community as to how the AC should proceed with this policy. There was robust conversation on PPML in late May and early June, which tapered off quickly after the ARIN Staff and Legal analysis was published.

Should we
- abandon this policy,
- accept this policy as written, or
- continue to revise this policy?

We appreciate your feedback.

Thanks,
Liz Goodson
