7. Draft Policy ARIN 2023-3: Amendment of the Waitlist Agreement to Include a Restriction on Leasing

CT stated that concerns were raised on the draft policy on PPML. Many of the comments address whether it is appropriate for ARIN to be involved in constraining leasing, while others focus on ensuring that if such a policy is implemented, this occurs without any unintended consequences. He stated he would like to brainstorm with the AC on this topic. The Chair suggested it be done via Slack or email. The AC agreed and CT stated he would raise it on the AC’s Slack.

It was moved by AN and seconded by AT that:

“The ARIN Advisory Council accepts ‘ARIN-prop-322: Modernization of Registration Requirements’ as a Draft Policy.”

The Chair called for discussion. There were no comments.

The motion carried with all in favor, via roll call vote.
