Thanks for submitting your suggestion, numbered 2013.6 upon confirmed 
receipt, to add "needs based" in ARIN's mission statement. Given that 
changes to ARIN's mission statement require Board review and approval, 
staff will review the suggestion with the ARIN Board during their next 
scheduled teleconference likely in May but possibly in June 2013.

Thank you for your suggestion numbered 2013.6 upon confirmed receipt, 
regarding the need to include the term "needs-based" in the ARIN mission 
statement. The ARIN Board felt that this issue was best addressed in the 
Number Resource Policy Manual (NRPM), and tasked the Advisory Council 
with reviewing the principles section to ensure that needs-basis was 
adequately documented.

The AC determined that clarification of technical need was included in 
draft policy, 2013-4: RIR Principles, which was implemented in 15 
January 2014. This language now is part of the definition of 
"Conservation" in NRPM 1.2. https://www.arin.net/policy/nrpm.html#one2

We believe that this addresses the spirit of this suggestion and 
consider it closed.
