FYI, a motion was made at the 1/30/2026 AC meeting to advance this policy to recommended draft. The motion was defeated 11 to 3 with 1 abstention. This means the proposal will continue as a draft policy but will not advance at this time. The meeting minutes will be published at https://www.arin.net/about/welcome/ac/meetings/, I think within a couple weeks though I'm not 100% sure. As primary shepherd, my representations on the draft are characterized above, in prior messages on this thread, and in the December meeting minutes.
