There is a kernel of truth behind Bill’s provocative framing. Much PPML discussion historically started as wordsmithing, which spawned real debate in many cases. Now, that all happens in private, and we only get discussion on more contentious topics. That often means the discussion we do get is mostly religious, from the Usual Suspects. So in a very real sense, ARIN and the AC have severed one good pipeline for engaging and evaluating new AC members.
But we also don’t have much important policy work remaining. So there isn’t much reason for lots of folks to remain highly engaged on PPML like they did when we were designing IPv6 and IPv4 transfer policy and then tweaking it to reflect real-world usage. Now most of the activity on this list is cleanup and almost-editorial changes.
