On behalf of myself, I SUPPORT the petition. AFAICT the AC ruled the proposal out of scope on the grounds that ARIN is not in the business of being an Internet routing cop. This proposition is incorrect. By enforcing minimum assignments throughout its history, ARIN has long been a key gatekeeper for access to the Internet's BGP routing system. While mild on the scale of Internet traffic-copishness, it nevertheless puts Internet Routing Cop proposals in scope. I oppose the proposed policy, but I think it reasonable for us to occasionally discuss and evaluate whether ARIN should be Internet-Cop in some novel new way. And re-evaluate whether it should continue to act as routing cop in the ways it currently does. The AC need not protect us from that discussion.
