Updates from ARIN 56:

The draft was presented Thursday 10/30/25 starting at hour 7 minute 2
second 50 in the livestream:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gvjMYs6XT0&t=7h2m50s

It was also discussed as an (unrecorded) table topic at lunch the same day.

5 people who aren't affiliated with ARIN joined the table topic. Two
of them also spoke at the mic during the presentation. 3 additional
people unaffiliated with ARIN spoke at the mic.

All 5 at the lunch topic landed on advancing the draft as written, but
ALSO bringing forward a new draft to rewrite section 6.5.2.1 for
better clarity. These views were captured by Eric Landgraf and Lee
Howard later at the mic.

Two additional folks spoke at the mic in favor of stripping the
formula and leaving the text alone.

One person spoke at the mic in favor of keeping the formula regardless
of whether the text is updated.

Note that I left AC members out of this report. They had opinions too. :)

Regards,
Bill Herrin
