[arin-ppml] Advisory Council Meeting Results - June 2026

[ARIN]

In accordance with the Policy Development Process (PDP), the Advisory Council met on 18 June 2026.

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

*ARIN-2025-7: Make policy in 6.5.8.2 match the examples

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

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

"Recommended Draft Policy ARIN-2025-7 conforms to the principles of the ARIN Policy Development Process. If adopted, this policy fixes a math loophole in NRPM Section 6.5.8.2 to clarify that a single-site organization receives a /48 IPv6 allocation. To align with current registry procedures, it also updates the terminology throughout the section from "assignment" to "allocation." These clarifications match ARIN's actual current practices, introduce no operational changes, and have received strong community support both on the PPML and at recent ARIN meetings. We have found this policy to be fair, impartial, and technically sound. Additionally, we have had no concerns expressed by the community for this policy."


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

*ARIN-prop-350: NRPM Section 6.5 Revision

You are encouraged to discuss all Draft Policies on PPML. The AC will evaluate the discussion to assess the conformance of this draft policy with ARIN's Principles of Internet number resource policy as stated in the Policy Development Process (PDP). Specifically, these principles are:

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