The motion carried with no objections.

4. Draft Policy ARIN-2013-7: Merge IPv4 ISP and End-User Requirements

The Chair asked if SL needed another shepherd for this Draft Policy, since BS, as the other shepherd, would be leaving the AC. OD volunteered. The Chair thanked him, and stated if there were any other members interested in shepherding to please email him.

SL stated there had been no comments received since the new text was posted to the AC’s list. He noted that the text needed updating and posting to Public Policy Mailing List (PPML). OD asked if the title would change. SL stated it did change and was in the version on the AC’s Wiki. He stated it would be changed when posted to the PPML.

5. Draft Policy ARIN-2013-8: Subsequent Allocations for New Multiple Discrete Networks

CA asked if, since the text was changed, a second staff clarity and understanding would be done to ensure the changes were sufficient. It was determined that a staff and legal review would be done. She stated it was ready to be moved forward. The Chair stated this Draft policy would be discussed in January at the AC’s face-to-face meeting.

The Chair requested an update at this time, on a new proposal that was recently received:

ARIN-Prop-192: Out of Region Use. MM, as shepherd, had a conference call on the proposal that David Farmer had authored. He stated that the proposal attempts to create a policy for ‘out of region requests’ that is more acceptable than the previous ones that had been abandoned. He noted that this proposal raised potentially controversial issues (depending on how they are phrased); and, that they were working on the problem statement. DF stated that he was awaiting input from SH, another shepherd on the proposal; and, that he should be able to post to the AC’s list by tomorrow. The Chair stated that he had requested preliminary input from staff that they also should have by tomorrow.

6. Improve Communications Group (ICG) Report

CG had emailed the AC stating there were no updates at this time. The Chair stated that CG requested to remain in the ICG as an interested community member, as he would no longer be on the AC in 2014. The Chair stated discussion of AC members on the ICG would take place in January; and, that he would update the 2014-elect members on the ICG before their face-to-face meeting in January.

BD suggested that another call should take place between now and the January meeting to map out a strategy and direction of the ICG, and welcomed any other AC members to join the working group. JSp stated he was very interested in continuing on the ICG.

7. Any Other Business

The Chair called for any other business.
