Policy Proposal Template Submissions

Policy proposals are evaluated according to the ARIN Internet Resource Policy Evaluation Process. After policy proposals are received they are posted to the Public Policy Mailing List. Then the ARIN Advisory Council conducts an initial review.

If a proposal is accepted by the Advisory Council or successfully petitioned by the author, then it is posted as a formal policy proposal to the Public Policy Mailing List and the proposal will be presented at a Public Policy Meeting. If a proposal is not accepted by the AC and the author elects not to petition or the petition fails, then the policy proposal is closed.

Formally accepted policy proposals are numbered and tracked on the Policy Proposal Archive page.

Discussion of proposed policies is tracked via the the Public Policy Mailing List archives.
