ARIN-2017-2: Removal of Community Networks

The AC provided the following statement:

"The ARIN Advisory Council has chosen to abandon Policy Proposal 2017-2,

the introduction of an alternative policy proposal to amend the 
definition of "community network."

Anyone dissatisfied with this decision may initiate a petition. The 
deadline to begin a petition will be five business days after the AC's 
draft meeting minutes are published.

The AC provided the following statement:

"The ARIN Advisory Council has chosen to abandon Policy Proposal 2017-7, 
“Retire Obsolete Section 4 from the NRPM”. This proposal did not gain

forward, and as such, we have requested that the policy be abandoned."

Anyone dissatisfied with this decision may initiate a petition. The 
deadline to begin a petition will be five business days after the AC's 
draft meeting minutes are published.
