I continue to have some objection to this draft, because it is still a statement of supposed principles, not policy. Per PDP 3.2 "proposals to change policy must address a clearly defined, existing or potential problem with number resource policy in the region." The purpose of ARIN policy is to define policy, not goals. The number resource policy manual is not the ARIN charter. PDP section 4 already defines principles of ARIN policy. So there does not appear to be anything to accomplish by the draft. "For example, Conservation often requires greater consideration in IPv4 address distribution due to the limited size of the address space, Routability has a higher weight for the massive IPv6 address space, and AS numbers place the highest value on Registration because they come from a moderately sized pool and are not subject to aggregation." This is no good.... we essentially have here a policy statement that ARIN should apply good judgement and consideration when using policy. Since they are supposed to do that anyways, the statement is redundant. We dont' need a policy statement say "Care must be taken to ensure balance with these conflicting goals " Care must be taken to ensure fairness and technical soundness given any conflicting policy.... The policy itself should be introducing conflicting circumstances: It's the policy's job to get updated to resolve conflicts of that nature. Policy should provide clear implementable guidelines, not vague assertions that "you need to be careful, read the author's mind, and do whatever that person would want....". -- -JH _______________________________________________ PPML You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to the ARIN Public Policy Mailing List ([email protected]).
