Thanks Gus! I just want to add a little bit of additional information. For reference, this was the proposal to add a definition of "Org ID" to the NRPM. The Org ID is a database label that ARIN uses in its business practices to connect legal entities with their points of contact and IP address registrations. Some of the feedback we received on the AC was that it would be helpful to avoid writing policy in terms of existing business practice because ARIN wants to develop and adjust the business practices to match the policy. If, for example, we want policy to apply to a group of legal entities under common control instead of applying to individual legal entities then that's what the policy should say, allowing ARIN staff to develop the appropriate tooling and data management practices to meet that need. I also want to draw attention to NRPM sections 4.5 and 6.11 where the text already uses the term "Organization ID." In light of the above, should we look at adjustments to these sections?
