Advisory Council Meeting Results - March 2018

[ARIN]

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



The AC has advanced the following Proposal to Draft Policy status (will 
be posted for discussion):

* ARIN-prop-252: Clarification to ISP Initial Allocation and Permit 
Renumbering

The AC advances Proposals to Draft Policy status once they are found to 
be within the scope of the PDP, and contain a clear problem statement 
and suggested changes to Internet number resource policy text.



The AC has classified the following as an editorial update:

* ARIN-prop-251: Correct References to Rwhois

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-2017-12: Require New POC Validation Upon Reassignment
* ARIN-2017-13: Remove ARIN Review Requirements for Large IPv4 
Reassignments/ Reallocations

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



The AC is continuing to work on:

* ARIN-2017-3: Update to NPRM 3.6: Annual Whois POC Validation
