[NA-Discuss] ARIN Policy on Community Networks

[Susannah Gray]

Hi all,

Perhaps we should contact the policy 'shepherds' and ask how we can put 
forward a new definition for consideration. I think it should be as 
simple as posting a proposed new definition to the ARIN policy mailing 
list and asking the community for comments.

As far as I am aware the policy has not been changed because there was 
no consensus gained during ARIN39 to remove the clause about community 
networks, mainly due to the comments made by the NARALO representatives. 
So, the policy will be discussed again at the next meeting in San Jose 
in October, and it would be a good idea to circulate a proposed 
definition before then.

Cheers,

Susannah
