AT stated that this text initially began as an editorial change. Comments from the PPML noted outdated language, and that a rewrite was required. AT stated she will speak with the authors to consider abandoning this specific policy, or to rewrite it. She stated that the AC’s thoughts would be appreciated as the authors of the policy are part of a working group of the AC.
The Chair stated that the entire AC can contribute and can all be authors at this point. The Policy Shepherds have the pen and can choose to move forward or not. AT stated asked the AC if it they thought it should be rewritten or abandoned.
OD stated that given that the entire section, which this attempts to edit, has become overtaken by events, it would make sense to either come up with a separate proposal or to modify it accordingly. If we decide to abandon the policy, it would be courteous to ask the authors first before doing so. JP agreed stating that it would be nice to have the ask, if a new proposal is to be written.
The Chair agreed that the authors should be consulted.
RS stated that it would be nice to keep it as an editorial change and have consensus for such. TLDs are no longer getting space from the free pool reservation, as such we should allow folks to apply for more than a /20.
The Chair asked AT to reach out to these responding AC members for more information. AT agreed and thanked them.
16. ARIN 46 Meeting Update
The President stated that ARIN 46 will be a virtual meeting, as decided by the ARIN Board. He stated that coordination on the announcement is underway with NANOG, as this was a co-joined meeting. The policy portion of the ARIN 46 Virtual Meeting will now be held the week prior to the original ARIN/NANOG meeting week on Wednesday/Thursday, and will be conducted in similar fashion to the ARIN 45 Virtual Meeting held in June. The President further stated that there will also be an ARIN Members Meeting to be held on the originally scheduled day, Friday 23 October. The Members Meeting will handle organizational reports and election matters, including a Candidate Forum as has been done for Board candidates in the past.
