9. Draft Policy ARIN-2018-6: Clarify Reassignment Requirements in 4.2.3.7.1

AM stated that the policy text was recently updated on the AC’s Wiki. She stated that she would try to foster more discussion on the PPML, and likely make a motion to move this policy to recommended draft status in June, on the AC’s next teleconference.

10. Draft Policy ARIN-2019-1: Clarify Section 4 IPv4 Request Requirements

KH that feedback from ARIN 43 was considered – the timeframe was changed to 36 months. There was support on the PPML, and the staff and legal review was clean.

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

“The ARIN Advisory Council moves ‘Draft Policy ARIN-2019-1: Clarify Section 4 IPv4 Request Requirements’ to Recommended Draft Policy status.”

The Chair called for discussion. AD asked how this change to 4.1.8 would integrate with the AC’s recommendation to waitlist policy suspension. KH responded that the edit changes the very bottom of 4.1.8. The impact to the recommendation is minimal, and the community was hard set on a 36-month waiting period.

AD believed that the AC should wait for the recommendation to the Board to process before moving on this draft policy.

CW stated that he believed that this action can be considered independent of the recommendation to the Board. He would be happy for the Board to supersede it; however, the AC does not know that the Board will do so. Therefore, he believed there was no need to halt this action.

OD stated that he would prefer time to digest the staff and legal review. There was no rush to move this draft policy to recommended draft policy status, as long as it can move forward by ARIN 44 in October.

The Chair stated that the AC needs to operate independently from the recommendation to the Board. She acknowledged that OD was correct in stating that this policy needs to be presented at ARIN 44.

KH withdrew the motion.

11. Draft Policy ARIN-2019-2: Waiting List Block Size Restriction

AW stated that there was some activity on the PPML and some concern about a /22. The general consensus still agrees on the text with some saying /21 or /20. The staff and legal review stated that there were some issues with the language. AW stated she did not want to make a motion at this time, as she wanted to revise the text for the AC’s next meeting.

12. Draft Policy ARIN-2019-3: Update 4.10 – IPv6 Deployment Block

AT stated that during ARIN 43, this policy received robust discussion. There was consensus to keep the language written as-is. She noted that there was not much discussion on the PPML. AT stated she would prefer to keep the text under discussion.

13. Draft Policy ARIN-2019-4: Allow Inter-Regional IPv6 Resource Transfers

DF stated that there was not much discussion for this proposal. He is waiting for other proposals to come up that may be better vehicles for achieving IPv6 inter-RIR transfers. He stated that after some time, he may re-post this to the PPML.

14. Draft Policy ARIN-2019-5: Validation of Abuse-Mailbox

OD stated there was no update as he is still working on updating the language, and hoped to have text for the AC’s next meeting.

15. Draft Policy ARIN-2019-6: Longer Hold Time Requirements for 4.1.8 Recipients.

JP stated there has been no significant change. The overall interest for 4.1.8 is high. No additional action beyond stimulating discussion on the PPML, once other discussions have died down.

16. ARIN-2019-7: Elimination of the Waiting List

AM stated that the staff and legal review essentially says this policy is possible, but there is little way to estimate the amount of work involved and the legal comments stated that adoption of this policy would allow the party in a contested revocation situation to argue that ARIN seeks to financially benefit. Avoiding that concern is significant. AM stated that the transcripts from the court case noted on the PPML also carry similar concerns from Counsel.

The Chair agreed, stating that the fraud case brings a new light to the matter.

DF suggested pointing the PPML to the staff and legal review. AM agreed to do so.

The Chair agreed, stating there was no rush to move this policy forward.
