IMO this is editorial, but either way I support the clarification.

Recommended Draft Policy ARIN-2020-7: 4.4 gTLD Micro-allocation
Clarification



AC Assessment of Conformance with the Principles of Internet Number
Resource Policy:



The draft Policy ARIN-2020-7 is fair, impartial ,technically sound and
supported by the community. This draft policy removes “new” from “new GTLD”
in NRPM Section 4.4 in an effort to reduce confusion for those who may view
the policy itself as “new” when it is from 2012.



Problem Statement:



As stated in NRPM section 4.4: Micro-allocation



ICANN-sanctioned gTLD operators may justify up to the equivalent of an IPv4
/23 block for each authorized new gTLD, allocated from the free pool or
received via transfer, but not from the above reservation.



The term “new gTLD” is confusing and refers to all gTLD’s that have been
created since June of 2012.



Policy statement:



ICANN-sanctioned gTLD operators may justify up to the equivalent of an IPv4
/23 block for each authorized gTLD, allocated from the free pool or
received via transfer, but not from the above reservation.



Comments:



This proposal stems from a suggestion in the January, 2019 Policy
Experience Report.



Timetable for Implementation: Immediate
