Hi John,<br>
<br>
I think you mean 2009. The PDP was introduced in 2009 and modified in<br>
2013. For the first 12 years of ARIN's existence, the AC could suggest<br>
improvements to proposal authors, but the authors were in charge.</div>

<div>Not quite - from 2004 onwards, the ARIN AC put forth the changed version, </div>
<div>but author was allowed (if they disagreed) to put theirs forward as well –</div>

<div><i>"Depending on the level of community support the Advisory Council may: 1) support the proposal as is, 2) work with the author to clarify, revise, divide or combine with other proposals, or 3) find there is community support to abandon the proposal.</i></div>

<div><i>If the Advisory Council evaluation concludes that the community wants them to work with the author to clarify, revise, divide or combine with other proposals (decision point #2, above), and the Advisory Council and the author can not reach an agreement,
then competing versions of the policy proposal from the Advisory Council and author will go to last call.”</i></div>

(From the ARIN 2004 PDP - note that it is the member-elected ARIN Advisory
<div>Council that is charged with evaluation and revision post public policy meeting)
