I still think this proposal misses the mark. I still don't understand why this term needs to be defined in policy rather than in operational process. The proposed text says: "An Organization Identifier (Org ID) is a unique text label that represents a business, nonprofit corporation, or government entity in the ARIN database." If you follow the web site from "Requesting IP Addresses or ASNs" the first sentence is "All resource requests require an ARIN Online account linked to either an Admin or Tech Point of Contact (POC) record with the authority to request resources for a valid Organization Identifier (Org ID)." Follow the ARIN Online link to a page that says:"An Org ID represents a business, nonprofit corporation, or government entity in the ARIN database. The Org ID is defined by a legal name, postal address, and points of contact." So the term is already defined on the web site in exactly the proposed words.
There's no such field in the ARIN database. There's a "Full Name" and a "Handle" in the Org object, e.g. https://search.arin.net/rdap/?query=ARINOPS&searchFilter=entity. There's also an "Address", and related POC objects. Which one is the Org ID? Or is it the concatenation of all of those (since "The Org ID is defined by a legal name, postal address, and points of contact.")? I think we mean the Handle when we say Org ID, but you could never guess that from the definition. Please, let us try to use consistent language so somebody new to the process can understand it.

Policy Statement: Current: None Proposed: Section 2.18. Organization Identifier (Org ID) An Organization Identifier (Org ID) is a unique text label that represents a business, nonprofit corporation, or government entity in the ARIN database. Comments: This definition had previously been included in an earlier policy proposal (ARIN-2023-7), but community feedback recommendations on that proposal showed a preference for adding the definition separately from that proposal. As such the definition is now being proposed as a standalone proposal, and the language will be removed from the current ARIN-2023-7 proposal, allowing the two sections of that proposal to be evaluated separately.
