Hello,

Given the revision to this Draft Policy listed below, the AC is seeking 
community feedback on the revised policy text. Based on the initial discussion 
re: the original text, the following questions are key:

- Is this problem statement relevant in light of the editorial change under 
consideration by the ARIN Board (formerly ARIN-2017-11)? 
https://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/2017_11.html 
<https://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/2017_11.html>

- Does the removal of specific use cases not considered assignments result in 
workable text, or does the community feel that the new language is too broad? 

Thanks,

-Chris
