Yup, that's exactly what I said and that's why it's a 3-pointer if they then jump off that foot to shoot.

If A1 has his left foot on the 3-point line and his right foot behind the line, what's his status as soon as he picks his left foot up? Iow, he's holding the ball with one foot in the air and one foot on the floor behind the arc. Is he behind the line or not?

It is two separate acts. One to get behind the line by raising one foot. One to shoot going off the other foot that is behind the arc.
