I believe this type of topic which John shared to this list is indeed
relevant to it.
I don't think all messages sent here should be only about proposals, but
also to subjects directly related Policy Development Process and RIR IP
Assignments.
Most of people who actively participate on this type of email list
should be able to receive this type of information covered by the shared
statement in order to stay abreast of it and form their opinions about
it when related matters are discussed about any current or future
proposals. Anything that happens on other RIRs or PDP Forums is also
relevant for people to get to know.
It seems the discussion became about having or not a ARIN Discuss list
rather than what matters most which is the topic that was shared and the
problems AfriNic and consequently the rest of Internet community is facing.
In some AfriNic discussions seems to happen often that when certain
topic is mentioned that doesn't please some people there are tentatives
to divert to discussion to a possible AUP violation in order to silence
someone.
I invite all who are committed to Policy Development Process to get to
know well about this subject, form their own opinions and support
whoever they think is committed to a stable Internet ecosystem and fair
IP resources distribution.

Fernando

Although I have, at present, a number of outstanding disagreements with
Owen DeLong on a range of issues, I would just like to echo what seems
to be his sentiment, i.e. that it would be helpful if there existed something
like an arin-discuss@ or arin-talk@ mailing list where topics of relevance
to ARIN but not clearly associated with any specific pending policy proposal
could be more freely discussed without violating the list charter.
It is my hope that any already planned technical work in this direction may
be completed expeditiously.
Understood. I note that the prior arin-discuss list was only open to ARIN
members - do you have a particularly viewpoint on its replacement?
As Owen noted, other regions do operate exactly such generalized discussion
lists.
Acknowledged - ARIN has such a generalized discussion list as well until very
recently, but many years of autosubscribed people in its earliest days resulted
in a less-than-usable forum for conducting actual discussion. We only recently
eliminated it, but apparently the arin-discuss list – a list that had almost no
traffic in recent years – is missed already - that’s almost touching.
Thanks,
