Is this the current text of the policy?<br>
<br>
The text on 2017-8 on the website does not match. The text below includes " or other Information Technology services" which does not appear on the website (<a href="https://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/2017_8.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.arin.net/policy/p<wbr>roposals/2017_8.html</a>)<br>
<br>
Can you please confirm which is the correct version, I have written my repsonses based on the website.<br>
<br>
1) Can a "Volunteer Group" sign the RSA?<br>
2) Is charitable organization a synonym or fall under the umbrella of non-profit?<br>
3) Why is the scope limited to post-secondary institution when many smaller communities would not have that? Could accredited educational institution be used instead?<br>
4) I agree with Chris W. that "play a large role" is very ambigous.<br>
5) The last sentence should be reworded completely. Critical functions may be handled by paid staff, implies that volunteers shouldn't handle Critical functions or that paid staff shouldn't handle menial work?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
