I would comment though that ARIN deciding to make a significant rewrite to the Mission Statement  without this community's input first - sure does puncture the illusion that ARIN only changes policies with this community's consensus.  

We have always distinguished number resource policy from operational
matters; number resource policy is developed by the community whereas
operational matters (budget, bylaws, mission, etc.) are under the 
purview of the member-elected ARIN Board of Trustees.
