am I right in assuming that ARIN is under no obligation to follow the current policy for organizations on the waiting list if this new policy is implemented? When they joined the waiting list, they understood the policy at the time, but was it with the further
understanding that ARIN could change the policy?</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333015441895px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" class="">

<div class="">ARIN is under no obligation to follow the previous policy for those already on the wait list; issuance of number resources is always done per current policy.</div>

<div class="">Ideally, the community would specify what transition is appropriate for those presently on the waiting list; absent such, there will be a staff and legal review pointing out the omission and staff will note its default approach so that implementation
can still proceed should the policy change be adopted as-is.</div>
