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

[ARIN]

In accordance with the Policy Development Process (PDP), the Advisory Council met on 21 May 2026.

The AC has abandoned the following Draft Policy:

*ARIN-2025-6: Fix formula in 6.5.2.1c

The AC issued the following statement: 

"The ARIN Advisory Council has abandoned ARIN-2025-6 "Fix formula in 6.5.2.1c" as this policy proposal lacks community support.  The majority of the feedback received from the PPML after ARIN 56 and at the ARIN 57 in person meeting did not support the draft policy as it is currently written and the community preferred additional language that would remove the formula entirely."

Anyone dissatisfied with this decision may initiate a petition. This petition request must occur within seven days after the announcement date of the Advisory Council action. The petition against abandonment deadline for ARIN-2025-6 is 3 June 2026.


The AC is continuing to work on:

*ARIN-2025-8: Reserve 4.10 space for In-Region Use

*ARIN-2025-1: Clarify ISP and LIR Definitions and References to Address Ambiguity in NRPM Text
