2011 was a fascinating year for me: I changed jobs, got divorced and fell in love (twice). I moved from the suburbs to the city and started riding to work. I was interviewed by Juniper, took 16 trips to 13 different cities, joined TheHundred Denver, and was kicked out of Canada. I started speaking more, working less, and spending more time with my kids. I published my second book, co-authored my first Internet-Draft, filed my first patent application, and re-discovered my spirituality. Oh, and I turned 30…
Since I’m starting to speak more publicly and more often, I thought I’d throw out a schedule so that folks will know where I’ll be. So, to kick that off, here is my next 3 months of speaking engagements: LACNIC XVI / LACNOG 2011 / Internet ON 3 to 7 October 2011 Buenos Aires, Argentina [...]
The American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) announced today (27 September 2011) the publication of ARIN Number Resource Policy Manual (NRPM) version 2011.4.

I have been asked to present draft policy 2010-14 to the ARIN Government Working Group (AGWG) during their meeting tomorrow morning. The proposed policy formally codifies many best current practices for IPv4 reassignment registration and fills in many holes in current IPv6 WHOIS policy as well.
[UPDATE 27-SEP-2011: Draft Policy ARIN-2010-14 has been implemented in ARIN NRPM 2011.4!] The History I first submitted policy proposal 109 in early February. After discussion and feedback on PPML, I revised the draft twice; ending up with v3 in early March. Apparently, that revision was submitted too late to make it onto the draft policy [...]
On Sunday (18-April-2010) I presented my policy proposal “Standardize IP Reassignment Registration Requirements” during the open policy hour here at ARIN XXV. Some of my slides pack a lot of text into them and therefor were probably not able to be read on screen in real time – for that reason, I have posted the [...]
ARIN XXV is fast approaching, which means that it is time for me to catch up on PPML posts and organize my thoughts surrounding the current proposals and impending issues. This is especially true for this meeting since I have a couple proposals of my own up for discussion at this meeting. Draft Policy 2010-5 [...]
