The power is in the hands of this community; they get to set whatever policies are used for management of number resources. ARIN has to 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 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 community to decide what is/isn't in a technical standard. FYI, /John
