Hi John,
In these deliberations, I think it would be useful to know how many actual
ARIN Member Organizations would be effected. I am not talking about
downstream customers, affiliates, or the like, but only resource holders
on the actual waitlist. Does John Sweeting have any metrics as to this?
Further, if all effected organizations were to receive the allocations
they are seeking, what percentage of the available address inventory would
be immediately exhausted?
Thanks,
Scott

How does ARIN analyze the response from this? Is there weight
given only to ARIN member organizations or any organization? If
anyone is given consideration, what is to stop people from
lobbying individuals and other organizations to send an email to
support their agenda? For example, I could very easily find 500
people to respond to this email saying they do not support the
policy. If I were a malicious actor trying to influence policy
discussion and were to offer some sort of incentive for those to
reply I could easily have thousands of organizations supporting
this policy one way or another.
My feelings would be the majority of the weight should be given to
ARIN member organizations voices as part of the tallying process. If
that is the case, perhaps we should ask those organizations to include
their ARIN org id?
Michael -
The ARIN Policy Development Process specifies the petition appeal process,
and the sole criteria for a successful petition is expressions of support
from at least 25 different people from 25 different organizations.
Note that a successful petition simply means that the policy – without any
recommendation of adoption from the ARIN Advisory Council – will be sent to
the ARIN Board of Trustees for their consideration of possible adoption.
Also note that for the purpose of determining petition success, ARIN staff
will only be counting those messages which clearly indicate support for the
petition and include both the submitters name and their organization.
The ARIN Board is on the ARIN Public Policy Mailing List, and will see any
discussion of substantial merits or concerns with the policy. Each trustee
is free to weight such input as they see fit, but at this point it is not a
numerical question – as we are not seeking a poll of support or opposition
to the policy – but rather simply whether at least 25 organizations feel
(despite the ARIN AC’s decision not to recommend) that policy warrants
consideration by the ARIN Board of Trustees.
Thanks,
/John
