Policy Proposal: Sunset 2008-6 on schedule

[Member Services]

ARIN received the following policy proposal and is posting it to the
Public Policy Mailing List (PPML) in accordance with Policy Development
Process.

This proposal is in the first stage of the Policy Development Process.
ARIN staff will perform the Clarity and Understanding step. Staff does
not evaluate the proposal at this time, their goal is to make sure that
they understand the proposal and believe the community will as well.
Staff will report their results to the ARIN Advisory Council (AC) within
10 days.

The AC will review the proposal at their next regularly scheduled
meeting (if the period before the next regularly scheduled meeting is
less than 10 days, then the period may be extended to the subsequent
regularly scheduled meeting). The AC will decide how to utilize the
proposal and announce the decision to the PPML.

In the meantime, the AC invites everyone to comment on the proposal on
the PPML, particularly their support or non-support and the reasoning
behind their opinion. Such participation contributes to a thorough
vetting and provides important guidance to the AC in their deliberations.

Policy Proposal Name: Sunset 2008-6 on schedule

Proposal Originator: Owen DeLong

Proposal Version: 1.0

Date: 19 March 2009

Proposal type: delete

Policy term: permanent

Policy statement:

Effective March 31, 2012, the changes made to the NRPM by policy 2008-6
are to be deleted.

Rationale:

Part of the policy that the community developed consensus for in 2008-6
included a sunset clause.  The ARIN Board in an unprecedented action
chose to discard this clause while approving the remainder of the policy.

This proposal is intended to restore the will of the community and
ensure that this policy remains temporary as intended.

Timetable for implementation: March 31, 2012
