[arin-ppml] Revised: Draft Policy ARIN-2017-8: Amend the Definition of Community Network

[Andrew Dul]

The current text uses the terms "volunteer group, not-for-profit,
non-profit, charitable organization, or educational institution"

My reading of this is that accreditation isn't a requirement.  The text
could be rewritten to remove educational institutions, but some of the
community networks one might imagine are educational organizations
(which are government entities, not necessarily registered/chartered as
non-profit organization)
