Length of ARIN 38 General Session.

The Chair stated that staff had requested guidance with regard to how long to reserve the ARIN 38 meeting room. Currently ARIN stands with one Recommended Draft Policy, four Draft Policies, and two proposals.

JS asked if the half-day was for the Member’s Meeting or for policy discussion. SH stated that at ARIN 36 in Montreal, there was a full day on Thursday (9:00 a.m to 5:00 p.m.); and, a half-day on Friday (9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.). The Member’s Meeting was held after the lunch break on Friday and ran from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. SH noted that the room for ARIN 38, in Dallas, would be available until 5:00 p.m. on Friday.

CA stated that she thought it was a very good idea to use the same schedule for ARIN 38.

TM re-joined the teleconference at this time (4:26 p.m. EDT).

DH believed that the AC should use the extra time on Friday for policy discussion. DF stated there was confusion in Montreal as to when the Member’s Meeting would be held, and; he requested that staff make it very clear that there would be a session on Friday.
