5. Policy Proposal 2006-7: Changes to IPv6 Initial Allocation Criteria

The Chair stated she was the shepherd on this policy proposal, and that there were no updates to report at this time. She will prompt discussion on the PPML.

6. Policy Proposals

The Chair asked the shepherds (MP, LB, BD and PA), on the three proposals below, to provide updates on each. LB updated the AC that material, including ARIN staff comments, was sent to the group of authors who submitted these three policy proposals. The authors reviewed staff comments and revised the drafts of the policy proposals.

The shepherds reviewed the new texts, and felt they were satisfactory. LB stated that this week the shepherds will let the authors know that the three policy proposals can be resubmitted. LB expected they would be resubmitted very shortly.

1. Reinstatement of PGP Authentication Method
2. Policy Proposal: Documentation of the X.509 Authentication Method
3. Policy Proposal: Documentation of the Mail-From Authentication Method.

7. ARIN Staff Policy Evaluation and Feedback Report

RP stated that he had sent an email to the AC January 17, and reminded them at the meeting in St. Louis, that LN had presented a first time report on ARIN’s experience with existing policies. The AC agreed staff would submit a report once, per policy cycle, to provide evaluations of policies that were implemented, the quality of the policy, and feedback from community. This would hopefully lead to more active feedback in the IRPEP.

The Chair stated she reviewed had the email and was happy to see this effort. She asked for volunteers. BD then suggested the Chair direct the AC to read the document and post comments to their list, and at that time volunteer for items in the document. RS stated he had reviewed the document and was ready to volunteer for numbers 1 and 2. He felt they could be reasonably merged. LN commented that they were separated because they are that way in the NRPM and suggested continuing in that vein. RP stated that nothing precludes a single policy to supersede these 2 policies. RS said he would write two policies and they can have adjacent numbers picking up the two separate aspects of allocation process. ST volunteered to help RS write the second one.

LB noted that February 22 will be the deadline to submit policies. RP stated that if clarifications are needed, LN will answer them on the AC’s list.

The Chair tasked the AC with reviewing the doc and will solicit volunteers for numbers 3 and 4 by Friday, January 26, 2007.

8. 2007 Regularly Scheduled Meetings

The Chair rejoined the call at 4:25 pm and resumed the meeting.

9. RIR Trip Report

AFRINIC 5 (December). PA was unavailable to report. The Chair asked if there were any objections to setting this time aside until the next meeting. BD suggested the Chair email a reminder to PA to provide the report.
