4. Draft Policy ARIN 2022-12: Direct Assignment Language Update.

DC stated that there are no new developments or policy changes, but the policy shepherds have been soliciting new feedback and will be updating the Council at the next meeting. They will also post updated text to the Public Policy Mailing List (PPML) for feedback.

BJ stated that this policy was presented at ARIN 52 and was then moved to recommended draft policy status. The shepherds intend to present it at ARIN 53 and move it to a last call period following the meeting.

AT stated that based on PPML comments to update the language, the terminology of SWIP and Whois should be changed to ‘directory services’ or ‘registry services’ as the language could affect other parts of the Number Resource Policy Manual (NRPM).

AW stated that there are no changes to the policy, and it will be presented at ARIN 53.

8. ARIN-2023-6: ARIN Waitlist Qualification.

AT stated that she will be requesting a staff and legal review for this policy.

9. ARIN-2023-7: Clarification of NRPM Sections 4.5 and 6.11 Multiple Discrete Networks

CW stated he will be requesting a staff and legal review with the specific question of whether this policy can be viewed as an editorial policy. If so, he will recast it as such. If there are no other issues, he will move it to recommended draft policy status at the next meeting.

10. Draft Policy ARIN-2023-8: Reduce 4.1.8 Maximum Allocation.

GG stated there was a typographical error in the policy and he will correct it with the author. Once corrected, he will repost the text to PPML and wait for comments on the usefulness of the policy.

11. ARIN-prop-326: Replace Specified Transfers with Monthly Single-Price Auction.

KK stated that more time is needed and deferred discussion to the next meeting so that he can work with the author and staff can see any new edits.

12. ARIN-prop-328: Definition of Organization ID (Org ID).

GR stated that the shepherds reviewed the policy and found it to be clear, in scope, and technically sound.

It was moved by GR, and seconded by LS, that:

The Chair called for discussion. There were no comments.

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