Nor do I.

Those that wish to understand the ARIN Advisory Council's actions in
earnest can find the results of the AC meeting in question here:
[http://lists.arin.net/pipermail/arin-ppml/2011-March/020373.html] and
the minutes from that meeting, here:
[https://www.arin.net/about_us/ac/ac2011_0317.html].

You are also welcome to ping me off-list (or on arin-ppml) if you are
interested in a further explanation of my own reasons for voting to
abandon the proposals in question.

Cheers,
