OD stated that this policy is a work-in-progress, and that he is working on revisions to the text, which will need further community input.

AT stated that she intends on presenting the policy at next ARIN Public Policy Meeting (PPM). She noted that there has been no further discussion on the Public Policy Mailing List (PPML). AT further stated that it is a simple policy, and that she did not expect much in the way of further input. There is no change at this time.

AP stated that she plans to continue to solicit feedback on the PPML, and then evaluate the feedback to determine which way to progress. The policy needs to be presented at the next PPM for more feedback.

10. Draft Policy ARIN 2020-11: Replace the Image in Section 2 with a Textual Description

AD suggested that the text be added and that the graphic remain. Feedback from staff noted no suggested changes to the text. The AC was in agreement with AD’s suggestion. AD stated that he will update the policy and send it to PPML for feedback. He intends on moving the policy to editorial change status at next AC meeting.

11. ARIN AC Working Groups

  • NRPM Clean-up WG Update. JP updated the AC that the WG is working to reconcile edits on ARIN-2020-9 with the policy shepherds. ASN Clarifications to Sections 2, 8 and 10, which was the Section 8 proposal, was submitted as a new proposal: ARIN-Prop-296. He noted that additional Section 6 work is still under discussion in the WG. JP added that the WG is starting to itemize additional needed definitions for Section 2. He concluded that some work items (language consistency, duplication, etc.) have been held until after the outcome of 2020-9, as that will be a significant edit, and the WG does not want to overlook any items.

  • ARIN Policy Development Process (PDP) Improvements WG Update. AP stated that she submitted a draft to staff for a staff and legal review. Once feedback is received, the WG will make any needed revisions accordingly.

    SH provided an update stating that the WG’s document revision of the PDP is undergoing thorough inter-departmental review within ARIN. ARIN is also seeking a possible third-party, non-RIR staff member for additional review to coincide with staff feedback. All comments and suggestions will be collated and submitted to the WG for their review. Further updates will be provided prior to the AC’s February 18th teleconference.

  • Policy Experience Report (PER) WG Update. The Chair stated that this WG is currently without a Chair and a new item was submitted earlier today. AW volunteered to be Chair but no consensus has been reached.

The Chair called for any other business items.

  • Changes in AC Member Affiliation or Employment. The Chair called for any updates.
