Consultation Description
We are consulting with the community in regards to a revised Policy Development Process (PDP) for Internet number resource policy development in the ARIN region. Significant changes in this revision of the PDP include:
- Improved definition of the scope of the PDP process
- Clarified principles for good number resource policy, i.e. it is fair/impartial, technically sound, and has the support of the community
- Clarified Board criteria for ratification of developed policies
- Added a role for the ARIN Advisory Council (AC) to perform an initial review of each new policy proposal to confirm that it is clear and in scope of the PDP
- Changed the process so all clear, in-scope policy proposals become draft policies upon successful initial review
- Added requirement for the AC to provide a full explanation of any policy action taken
- One petition per policy action; if successful, petitioners mutually select the presenter of the draft policy at Public Policy Meetings
There are three parts to the document: Part One is the goals of the PDP, Part Two is the PDP itself, and Part Three is the PDP Petition Process.
