<blockquote type="cite" class=""><b class="">6. Confirming Community Support for Recommended Draft Policies</b><br class="">
<br class="">
The Advisory Council confirms community support for Recommended Draft Policies, and this is done by polling community support for the policy change during a Public Policy Consultation. <br class="">
<br class="">
The AC should carefully weigh the community support shown for a Recommended Draft Policy. Absence of clear community support is a strong indication that policy abandonment should be considered. A low level of overall support without opposition for a Recommended
Draft Policy suggests further discussion of the merits of the policy change or abandonment. A clear split in the community support suggests that the AC should revise the Recommended Draft Policy to accommodate the concerns raised or further explain its consideration
of the matter. <br class="">
<br class="">
A Recommended Draft Policy that has demonstrated clear support (and only relatively low opposition for well-understood reasons) may be advanced to Last Call by the AC within 60 days of its Public Policy Consultation.</blockquote>

</div>
So, the ARIN AC meets and reviews the discussion (including the polls for community support) </div>
<div>and considers whether to send either version of the policy to last call, explaining any/all changes </div>
<div>made to the final text based on the discussion that occurred during the ARIN40 public policy</div>
<div>consultation. </div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>This generally occurs promptly after the ARIN meeting, so you can expect shortly several </div>
<div>announcements about their consideration of each draft policy and the policy status changes </div>
<div>that occur as a result. </div>
