On 11 December 2007 the ARIN Board of Trustees adopted two policy proposals:

global policy proposal which will be implemented after ratification by 
the ICANN Board of Directors.

	2007-25: IPv6 Policy Housekeeping. This policy will be implemented no 
later than 15 February 2008.

The ARIN Board of Trustees remanded two proposals to the Advisory 
Council (AC):

facilitate further discussion regarding the policy text.

	2007-22: Expand timeframe of Additional Requests, for further 
consideration and evaluation with respect to the public policy process.

Call for Community Consultation - Software Repository

ARIN received a suggestion (2008.1) that "ARIN shall maintain a software 
repository (with retrieval via anonymous FTP, HTTP, or other protocols 
in keeping with best current practices) for user-contributed schemas, 
software, and other tools for dealing with data published by ARIN."

The complete suggestion can be viewed at:
http://www.arin.net/acsp/suggestions/2008-1.html

As a result, ARIN would like to solicit input to the following questions 
from the community:

1. Should software in this repository be restricted only to 
contributions that are licensed to be in the public domain? If so, what 
license should be used (GNU/BSD/others)?
2. Should the repository allow separate developers facilities to 
maintain code directly (tools like subversion) or be a static-read only 
repository?
3. Should the repository only house collections that reflect ARIN's mission?

Please submit your comments to the consult@... You can
subscribe 
to the arin-consult mailing list at: 
http://lists.arin.net/mailman/listinfo/consult.

Discussion on consult@... will close at noon EST 30 January 2008. 
Based on the feedback provided, ARIN will then develop a plan regarding 
this suggestion. If ARIN decides to move forward on this, ARIN will 
offer this service with an acceptable use policy outlining warranties, 
commercial use, and community shared enhancements.
