If You've Never Attended an ARIN Meeting
ISPs who attend NANOG and ARIN's back-to-back meetings in LA will
have a real chance to influence network operations policies for the
Americas. ARIN is the American Registry
for Internet Numbers, and is responsible for handing out IP addresses and
AS numbers in North America and several islands in the Caribbean and
North Atlantic.
Attending a two-day Public Policy meeting is key to understanding how ARIN
works. The staff from ARIN presents updates and leads a few of the
discussions, but any policy recommendations that come out of the meeting
come from users and from ARIN's user-based Board of Trustees
and Advisory Council. Six to eight members of the Board and Council sit
on the front podium throughout the meeting and encourage interaction with
attendees.
The LA Public Policy meeting takes place on Wednesday and Thursday,
October 26-27, following NANOG. The Members' meeting will be held on
Friday, October 28. Both meetings are open to everyone. Once you see ARIN
in action you'll realize that it's not the ARIN staff that makes decisions
about IP addressing policy -- it's the users themselves. There will also
be opportunities for one-on-one conversation with the ARIN staff -- the IP
analysts will be available at scheduled times and by appointment
throughout both meetings.
