<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings community,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I wanted to add a note regarding my decision to abandon this draft policy with the unanimous consensus of the Advisory Council.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As primary shepherd of this policy I presented this at both ARIN 53 (draft) and ARIN 54 (recommended draft). I had a conversations with a few fellow attendees at ARIN 54 about this policy and the concern that was raised to me is “Why are
we codifying in policy what should be defined in ARIN business practices?”. In an event to salvage the policy after the in-room poll at ARIN 54 I worked with the policy author to refine the language and presented it to PPML in January 2025. The feedback
to those changes echoed what I received at ARIN 54.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Cheers! <o:p></o:p></p>
