  To be clear, the ARIN Advisory Council (ARIN AC) is definitely following=
=20
  the current ARIN policy development process.  If they weren't, I would be=
=20
  obligated to directly intervene.
=20
  It is true that the present Policy Development process allows the AC ampl=
e=20
  latitude in changing the policy proposals, with the requirement that if t=
he=20
  Advisory Council sends a draft policy to last call that is different from=
=20
  the one presented at the public policy meeting, then the Advisory Council=
=20
  will provide an explanation for all changes made to the text.

  My message to NANOG was to encourage folks to speak out on the PPML maili=
ng
  list regarding their thoughts on the draft policy, as that is the forum=20
  where the input will have the most impact.  I will note that ARIN also ju=
st
  completed an open consultation on a revised Policy Development Process, a=
nd
  while it has closed, I will take directly any suggestions that you have f=
or
  changes to that process that you feel are necessary.

Thanks!
