I echo Kevin's comments and note that when we updated the PDP in 2023 we
specifically updated the PDP to allow for expanded formal community
feedback via methods other than the PPML and meetings.

The Internet Community may participate in evaluating and providing
feedback (PPF) on a Draft Policy by participating on the PPML, at a
Public Policy Consultation, by providing feedback directly to members
of the Advisory Council, or via other recognized methods.

I appreciate that the AC is asking questions on how to improve
engagement.
Unfortunately, the survey seems to omit any new forms of engagement,
which seems odd given the goal.
If you’re looking to collaborate in 2026, the lowest common
denominator of a mailing list—circa 1990—should be the first thing you
look at.
A positive suggestion would be to run a trial of a modern platform
alongside a specific policy proposal to see if it improves engagement.
Hoping you receive the feedback you’re looking for….

Survey Active
Hi PPML subscribers and community members,
Please be reminded that the policy engagement working group of the
ARIN Advisory Council remains very keen to hear your feedback. The
survey - which remains open until February 27 - is meant to allow
community members to indicate which methods of engagement are believed
to be the most useful to the community.

Thank you to all those who have already completed the survey, and

time to do the same.

Hello PPML Community -
The Advisory Council’s Policy Engagement Work Group recently
launched a survey to solicit feedback from the community about
your experiences in the policy development process, as well as
feedback on specific suggestions for new methods of policy
engagement that we have received from the community over the last
several months. Since PPML is one of the primary methods for
policy engagement activity, we are sharing this information with
the community here as well as numerous other channels.
The survey was launched today, and an associated blog post with
additional information has been posted to arin.net
<http://arin.net>. The survey will take about 5-7 minutes to
complete.
If you would like to read the blog post (includes a link to the
survey) look here:

If you would like to go directly to the survey to provide your
feedback, look here: https://arin.net/ACsurvey
Your feedback is incredibly valuable to the process, and we look
forward to hearing from many of you!
Thank you -
Doug
