The motioned carried with 13 in favor and 1 abstention (GG) via roll call vote. GG joined the call after discussion had occurred and he recused himself from this item.

The Chair requested that AT provide a conformance statement to staff and the Chair and Vice Chair. AT acknowledged.

CW stated that the policy shepherds are awaiting presenting the policy at ARIN 53. He noted a point of concern of the timing of moving the policy forward given Draft Policy 2022-12 has not moved forward and this policy, 2023-7, is dependent upon it. He noted that he would be making it a discussion point in his slides not to move this policy forward until 2022-12 has a clear path. He personally did not see value in making a non-editorial, substantive change that would change the criteria under which multi-discreet networks are approved. It is not a desired outcome.

The AC consulted with the Policy Analyst about the timeline for advancing the policy before it reverts to draft policy status per the Policy Development Process (PDP).

DC stated for clarity that 2022-12 changes the definition for allocations and assignments and this policy is written with the assumption that those definitions are changed by the time this policy comes to fruition.

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

GG stated that there have been no changes to the is policy and he is looking at targeting discussion at ARIN 53 as there are dissenting views on the subject as to the need for a waitlist. The Chair stated that GR will head the table topic on this item and to please provide him any questions that GG would like discussed. GG agreed to do so.

11. Draft Policy ARIN-2024-1: Definition of Organization ID/Org ID.

GR stated that have been no updates since last AC meeting. He stated that the definition is solid, and he looks forward to presenting the policy at ARIN 53 for the community’s feedback.

12. ARIN-prop-329: WHOIS Data Requirements Policy for Non-Personal Information.

LS stated that the policy shepherds met and discussed the text. He noted that the problem statement is clear, but there are conflicts that may be out of scope as operational process mandates. Regardless, he indicated that it should be discussed, and intended to make a motion to move it forward.

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

“The ARIN Advisory Council accepts ‘ARIN-prop-329: WHOIS Data Requirements Policy for Non-Personal Information’ as a Draft Policy.”

The Chair called for comments. MW stated that it is an interesting policy and looks forward to getting the community’s feedback.

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

13. ARIN-prop-330: Edit 6.5.8.3 Section 2.

KK stated that this is an editorial change of one word, changing ‘it’ to ‘in’.

It was moved by KK, and seconded by BJ, that:

“The ARIN Advisory Council accepts ‘ARIN-prop-330: Edit 6.5.8.3 Section 2’ as an editorial update.”

The Chair called for comments. The Chair noted this was a good catch by the Public Policy Mailing List (PPML) and the proposal was very well-written by the PER WG.

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