No (or at least I don't think so -- I have difficulty parsing that sentence). 
I'm suggesting that the informal input mechanisms historically and currently 
used by ARIN to determine what should be done (and to some extent how) may be 
insufficient, inefficient, and/or imply certain risks given that many of the 
services provided by ARIN are done on a monopoly basis and failure of those 
service could have global effect.

Or not.  It may be that network operators (not just the ones that show up at 
ARIN meetings and are on PPML) are happy with the existing communication 
channels and that additional structures to encourage participation and input in 
the ARIN region regarding services ARIN provides to the public are unnecessary.

Sorry, which?
