12. 12. ARIN-prop-319: Retire 4.2.1.4 Slow Start.

“The ARIN Advisory Council accepts ARIN-prop-319: Retire 4.2.1.4 Slow Start as a Draft Policy.”

The Vice Chair called for discussion. The Chair noted that retiring a section would be more than editorial because it would change the Number Resource Policy Manual (NRPM) substantially. BJ stated that he did not disagree, but that he read in the Policy Development Process (PDP) (Section 2.8.1.1 Editorial Update Criteria), that removal of a non-operative section is considered an ‘editorial update’.

AD asked for clarification on the motion. The Chair responded that it was to move the proposal to draft policy status.

The motion carried unanimously, via roll call vote.

  • Policy Experience Report Working Group (PER WG) Update. AW stated that the issues were divided up among the team and they are posted on the PPML. She asked for the AC to comment and share their thoughts as that would be helpful moving forward. AW also stated that the WG is working to set a meeting and hopefully will have it set for next week. The Vice Chair called for questions or comments. There were no comments.

14. Any Other Business

The Chair called for any other business.

  • Changes in Employment and Affiliation. The Vice Chair called for any changes from Council members. CW did state that he is now the Secretary of a NANOG committee.

  • Nominations Committee. The Vice Chair stated that the ARIN Nomination Committee has reached out to her and the Chair for an AC member to be part of the Committee this year.

The Chair stated that he spent two years on the Committee and highly recommends it, as it is a great way to see how the process works. General Counsel also stated that the Committee is going to work a little differently this year and it would be heavy on recruitment.
  • ARIN DEI Training. The Vice Chair noted that a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Training session has been sent via email to all AC members from Erin Alligood, ARIN’s Chief Human Resources Officer. The Vice Chair stated that completion of the training is due by the May 31.
