2008-3 Community Networks was just added to the NRPM, two days ago, and 
that requirement is in the definition.

2.11. Community Network

A community network is any network organized and operated by a volunteer 
group operating as or under the fiscal support of a nonprofit 
organization or university for the purpose of providing free or low-cost 
connectivity to the residents of their local service area. To be treated 
as a community network under ARIN policy, the applicant must certify to 
ARIN that the community network staff is 100% volunteers.

I don't necessarily disagree with your comment, but that was the 
consensus we came up with and I really really don't want to revisit that 
for a policy that just got put into the NRPM two days ago.

I was only trying to remove some of the duplication of text in how it 
was implemented, but making it another type of initial assignment criteria.
