1. Welcome

The Chair called the meeting to order at 4:05 EST. The presence of a quorum was noted.

2. Agenda Review

The Chair reviewed the agenda with the Council and called for any comments. There were no comments.

3. Approval of the Minutes

It was moved by OD, and seconded by JS, that:

“The ARIN Advisory Council approves the Minutes of 06 October 2017, as written.”

The Chair called for comments or objections. There were none.

The motion carried with no objections.

RS joined at this time (4:07 pm EST).

4. Vacant AC Seat for 2018

Dan Alexander’s resignation from the AC is effective 31 December 2017. According to the AC’s Standing Rules, the vacant seat can remain open, or the AC can approach the next runner up from the 2017 ARIN AC Election, which would be Alicia Trotman, to fill the vacancy.

It was moved by CT, and seconded by RS, that:

“The ARIN Advisory Council elects Alicia Trotman, the next consecutive runner-up in the ARIN AC 2017 Election, as a member of the ARIN Advisory Council for calendar year 2018, to fill the vacant seat created by Dan Alexander’s resignation from the Council.”

The President stated that once accepted by Alicia, arrangements would be made promptly for her to be added to the ARIN AC’s mailing list, as well as arrangements for her travel to the AC’s face-to-face meeting in January.

The motion carried unanimously, via roll call vote.

CW asked if anyone communicated this to Alicia? The President stated no one had reached out to her, as staff was unsure if the motion would be made. The President stated he would do so.

Counsel joined at this time (4:15 p.m. EST).

OD stated that he had some level of communication that this was a possibility with a close friend of Alicia’s who would let her know; therefore, he expected that she was made aware of the possibility of the appointment to the AC.

5. Draft Policy ARIN-2017-3: Update to NRPM 3.6: Annual Whois POC Validation

AP stated that revised text was posted to the Public Policy Mailing List (PPML), and that revisions were suggested. She wanted to give the text more time for review on the PPML. The Chair stated that a staff and legal review was also needed, but that it could wait until feedback was received.

6. Draft Policy ARIN-2017-4: Remove Reciprocity Requirement for Inter-RIR Transfers

RS stated that the proposal has been revised and updates received after community feedback from ARIN 40 had been made. The title has been changed to: ‘Remove Bi-Directional Requirement for Inter-RIR Transfers’. RS noted that the text has been heavily ‘trimmed down’. He requested a staff and legal review due to the revisions.

The Chair asked if the draft text could be posted to the PPML prior to the staff and legal review being conducted. RS had no preference but suggested it be posted to PPML, and asked if a staff and legal review could be initiated at the same time. The Chair and CT (policy shepherd) agreed.

7. Recommended Draft Policy ARIN-2017-5: Improved IPv6 Registration Requirements

CW stated that the text had gone through a last call period, and support had been shown on the PPML last week. He believed the policy had completed a successful Policy Development Process (PDP) cycle.

It was moved by LS, and seconded by OD, that:

“The ARIN Advisory Council, having completed a successful policy development process for ‘Recommended Draft Policy ARIN-2017-5: Improved IPv6 Registration Requirements’, recommends it to the ARIN Board of Trustees for adoption.”

The Chair called for discussion. The Chair asked LS about the two folks who had stated that they had preferred the original wording. LS stated that the two people had wanted the word ‘should’ to remain, as they believed that the word ‘shall’ would create a problem. Clarifying text was sent to the PPML on the difference between the meanings, and no further opinion was received. He believed that objections voiced have been discussed and addressed.

The motion carried unanimously, via roll call vote.

8. Draft Policy ARIN-2017-8: Amend the Definition of Community Network

DF stated that he and AD were working on updated text, and that they will share it with the AC in the next week or two. DF would then post the text to the PPML.

9. ARIN-Prop-244: Clarification of Initial Block Size for IPv4 ISP Transfers

It was moved by DF, and seconded by JS, that:

“The ARIN Advisory Council accepts ‘ARIN-Prop-244: Clarification of Initial Block Size for IPv4 ISP Transfers’ as a Draft Policy.”

The Chair called for discussion. The Chair asked for any objections. JS stated it appeared to have a clear proposal statement, and that it was in line with the criteria for policy proposals, per the PDP.

The motion carried unanimously, via roll call vote.

10. ARIN-Prop-245: Repeal of Immediate Need for IPv4 Address Space

CW stated that he had reviewed the proposal with AD and they believed the text to be clear and in scope.

It was moved by CW, and seconded by DH, that:

“The ARIN Advisory Council accepts ‘ARIN-Prop-245: Repeal of Immediate Need for IPv4 Address Space’ as a Draft Policy.”

The Chair called for discussion. There were no comments.

The motion carried unanimously, via roll call vote.

11. ARIN-Prop 246: Reallocation and Reassignment Language Clean-up

AM stated that she and OD had spoken with the author, and they were satisfied that the proposal had a clear problem statement and was technically sound.

It was moved by AM, and seconded by DH, that:

“The ARIN Advisory Council accepts ‘ARIN-Prop 246: Reallocation and Reassignment Language Clean-up’ as a Draft Policy.”

The Chair called for discussion. There were no comments.

The motion carried unanimously, via roll call vote.

AM stated that she would like to discuss if this proposal’s intent could be considered an editorial change. The Chair responded that if the AC decides that it is editorial in nature, it can be suggested and work can begin in that vein.

The Chair asked AC if more time was needed to review the draft in order to make the determination. JS voiced that he needed more time to review the text, as did OD.

AM stated that she could post the question to the list. The Chair agreed.

12. ARIN-Prop 247: Require New POC Validation Upon Reassignment

CT stated that he and LS had discussed the proposal, and they believed it to be clear and in scope.

It was moved by CT, and seconded by JP, that:

“The ARIN Advisory Council accepts ‘ARIN-Prop 247: Require New POC Validation Upon Reassignment’ as a Draft Policy.”

The Chair called for discussion. CT stated there was a revision to the text, which was updated on the AC’s Wiki. He noted that revisions did not change the clarity or scope of the problem statement.

The motion carried unanimously, via roll call vote.

The Chair stated that a new proposal was recently submitted from Jason Schiller on verifying contacts on new re-assignments, but after discussing it with him, it was withdrawn due to he and DH collaboratively working that text into this proposal.

13. ARIN-Prop 248: Remove ARIN Review Requirements for Large IPv4 Reassignments/Reallocations

JS stated that the problem statement was clear and in scope.

It was moved by JS, and seconded by LS, that:

The Chair called for discussion. There were no comments.
