In accordance with the Policy Development Process (PDP), the Advisory Council met on 30 April 2025.
The AC has abandoned the following Draft Policy: *Draft Policy ARIN-2024-7: Addition of Definitions for General and Special Purpose IP Addresses The AC issued the following statement: “ The advisory council has abandoned draft policy ARIN-2024-7 Addition of Definitions for General and Special Purpose IP Addresses because this policy has not received adequate community support. This policy was presented at two ARIN meetings, Fall 2024 and Spring 2025, and posted several times to PPML requesting community feedback. While there was community input on the language the of the proposed definition, the community did not indicate a strong desire for defining “Special Purpose” IP addresses themselves. Community members suggested that the policy be abandoned in favor of one that makes substantiative changes to the text of the NRPM instead. A new proposal has recently come forward that intends to address ambiguous language in the relevant sections of the NRMP rather than creating an umbrella definition for all terms. Given these facts we have chosen to abandon this policy." Anyone dissatisfied with this decision may initiate a petition. This Petition request must occur within seven days after the announcement date of the Advisory Council action. The petition deadline for the rejection of 2024-7 is 12 May 2025. The AC has rejected the following Proposal as out of scope: *ARIN-prop-342: Require newly created AS-SETs to have hierarchical names The AC issued the following statement: “This proposal has been deemed outside the formal scope of ARIN’s Policy Development Process (PDP) and has been rejected from the AC docket. This policy proposal addresses concerns with AS-SET names and suggests implementing unique AS-set names across all IRR databases. The proposal has been accepted into the ARIN Consultation and Suggestion Process (ACSP) as suggestion 2025-3." Anyone dissatisfied with this decision may initiate a petition. This Petition request must occur within seven days after the announcement date of the Advisory Council action. The petition deadline for the rejection of prop-342 is 12 May 2025.
