On Tuesday, 29 May, ARIN opened a consultation with the community regarding 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 PDP process scope definition * Clarified principles for good number resource policy (fairness, technical soundness, community support, etc.) * Clarified Board criteria for developed policy ratification * New initial policy proposal review by the ARIN Advisory Council (AC) * Smoother transition from policy proposal to 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 The above changes will have a significant impact on how community members participate in the PDP, and how policy proposals are seen through to fruition.
