Dear Community Members,

This email presents a status update of policy proposals in the ARIN region following the ARIN Advisory Council (AC) meeting on 5 April 2017.

Two Recommended drafts moved to Last Call: --------------------------------

- ARIN-2016-3: Alternative Simplified Criteria for Justifying Small IPv4 Transfers This proposal allows organizations using 80% of their current space to double their current holdings via 8.3 or 8.4 specified transfers, up to a /16 equivalent.
