Martin -
The Open-IX members do not have to participate in the PPML discussion
unless they wish to - you should feel free to note any OIX views on
address
policy to the PPML mailing list if you so desire, and the participants in
the
PPML discussion will choose to weigh that input as they see fit.
When it comes to the AC determining support for a draft policy, they will
follow the ARIN Policy Development Process, which requires them to be
"Guided by the discussion of the Draft Policy on the PPML …” This means
the tabulation of messages in support and opposition will reflect solely
the
PPML discussion counts. Those not on PPML are not considered, because
they are not actually participating in the discussion; for example, they
don’t
see the reasoning behind opposing viewpoints and perspectives.
We’ve had this question arise in the past with other trade organizations,
and have been consistent in its application, whether with regard to address
policy for individual sectors of ARIN’s region or individual technologies
such
as hosting and wireless. Please feel free to share any recommendations
from the OIX community that might be germane to address policy, but it is
also advisable for those who wish to actually participate in the ARIN policy
development process to do so on the PPML mailing list.
Thanks!
