The power is in the hands of this community; they get to set whatever=20
policies are used for management of number resources. ARIN has to=20
defend the ability of this community to self-govern, but it is up to
them as to how much/little policy they feel is actually necessary and=20
in the best interest of them and the Internet. Note that the very same
thing occurs with the IETF or W3C having to defend the ability of that=20
community to decide what is/isn't in a technical standard.
