Because I was responding to the glaring inaccuracy in your message:
>>> 1)  The ICANN bylaws assign to the ASO (which ARIN is) the responsibility

You were identifying ARIN and the ASO.  ARIN is not the ASO.  As a
significant component of the ASO, of course ARIN has a large role in
global policy development.  ARIN can make proposals etc.  But ARIN
doesn't *decide global policies*; and it doesn't *make* global policies
-- the other RIRs are equal players, and their interests don't always 
coincide with ARINs (though certainly all the registries have an 
interest in reclaiming space).

Actually, I'm not arguing for you or against you -- I'm just correcting
an inaccuracy.
