The ARIN Advisory Council (AC) will review the proposal at their next regularly scheduled meeting (if the period before the next regularly scheduled meeting is less than 10 days, then the period may be extended to the subsequent regularly scheduled meeting). The AC will decide how to utilize the proposal and announce the decision to the PPML.

A report of activities under this policy shall be delivered at each ARIN meeting. Rationale: ARIN has generally only reactively looked for fraudulently obtained or abandoned number resources, generally via reports to https://www.arin.net/resources/fraud/. While it is great for ARIN to take these community reports, ARIN can be in a far better position to know which resources were fraudulently obtained or abandoned due to the additional paperwork that ARIN holds which is not available to the public, and the record of interactions (or lack thereof) with the resource holder. ] From: John Curran <jcur...@arin.net> ] To: Leo Bicknell <bickn...@ufp.org> ] CC: "arin-p...@arin.net" <arin-p...@arin.net> ] Subject: Re: [arin-ppml] Audits ] ] On Nov 5, 2010, at 2:19 PM, Leo Bicknell wrote: ] > What would the community have to get the ARIN staff to go proactively ] > looking for fraud, abuse, defunct companies and other non-compliant ] > uses of the address space? ] ] As usual: have the community develop an appropriate policy and ensure that ] there is an adequate level of support for the increased ARIN costs (which ] will appear back as overall service fees) once we get to implementation. ] ] /John I expect the board/executive management will interpret reasonable and practical to be some amount of staff time that is not zero, but will also not "break the bank". I also expect that ARIN will report on the number resources (in the aggregate) that were returned due to this proactive activity, as well as the cost to the members of this activity (again, in the aggregate) so as to obtain feedback if more, or less resources should be used in this area.
