Advisory Council Meeting Results - February 2018

[ARIN]

In accordance with the Policy Development Process (PDP), the Advisory 
Council (AC) met on 15 February 2018.



The AC has classified the following as an editorial update:

* ARIN-2017-11: Reallocation and Reassignment Language Cleanup

Per Part One, Section 3.1 of the PDP:

"Changes to policy that are purely editorial and non-substantial in 
nature are outside the scope of the full Policy Development Process and 
may only be made with 30 days public notice followed by the concurrence 
of both the ARIN Advisory Council and ARIN Board of Trustees that the 
changes are non-substantial in nature."

The editorial update review window is forthcoming and will be posted 
separately for discussion.

Please note that the editorial update review window for ARIN-prop-251 is 
forthcoming, pending additional revision. Once revised, the proposed 
editorial changes will be posted separately for discussion.



The AC has advanced the following Draft Policies to Recommended Draft 
Policy status (each will be posted separately):

* ARIN-2017-3: Update to NPRM 3.6: Annual Whois POC Validation
* ARIN-2017-8: Amend Community Networks
* ARIN-2017-10: Repeal of Immediate Need for IPv4 Address Space (NRPM 
Section 4.2.1.6)

The AC advances Draft Policies to Recommended Draft Policy status once 
they have been fully developed and meet ARIN's Principles of Internet 
Number Resource Policy. Specifically, these principles are:

* Enabling Fair and Impartial Number Resource Administration

* Technically Sound

* Supported by the Community
