Nor do I. Those that wish to understand the ARIN Advisory Council's actions in earnest can find the results of the AC meeting in question here: [http://lists.arin.net/pipermail/arin-ppml/2011-March/020373.html] and the minutes from that meeting, here: [https://www.arin.net/about_us/ac/ac2011_0317.html]. You are also welcome to ping me off-list (or on arin-ppml) if you are interested in a further explanation of my own reasons for voting to abandon the proposals in question.
