    <p>I am sure we are talking about the same thing David.</p>
    <p>The authority to establish the rules in which resources are
      allocated and revoked is a prerogative from this forum (which
      includes members and non-members), as in any other RIR. The PDP
      guarantees the Board the ultimate authority to adopt a new
      policies in order to make sure it is in line with all legal and
      operational aspects of the RIR system.<br>
      The authority to establish fee structure, operational procedures,
      etc is a prerogative from the Board and Staff.<br>

                      <p>John, let's make it simple: The Board has no
                        power to *make and adopt policies* concerning
                        resources allocation without passing in this
                        forum. Look: make policies not just adopt them !<br>
                      </p>
                      <p>Yes we all understand it has the ultimate
                        authority to adopt all ARIN's policies, but it
                        *cannot make and adopt any policies by itself*.
                        That is a sole prerogative from this forum to
                        initiate, discuss and agree on it to *then* pass
                        it to them for approval.<br>
                        Therefore Board has no power to determine the
                        conditions for resources to be allocated or
                        revoked. This forum does and why I am of that
                        the current text is fine to remain as it is as
                        it is not causing any trouble and doesn't go
                        into any operational details.<br>
                      </p>
                      <p>The text in the proposal doesn't refer to how
                        fees are structured, but only mentions that lack
                        of payment is a reason for revocation (again a
                        sole prerogative of this forum to define not the
                        Board). In other words the authority for ARIN to
                        revoke resources always comes from this forum.<br>
                        As a suggestion to this proposal why not make
                        more clear and something similar to what LACNIC
                        has which mentions that violations to the
                        contract leads to revocation ?<br>

                        <div>That is also incorrect in the ARIN region
                          (“But the Board has not power to make policies
                          or define rules for allocation of
                          revocation.”)  The ARIN Board of Trustees has
                          the full authority of the organization, having
                          been elected by the membership - this includes
                          the ultimate authority to adopt all of ARIN’s
                          number resource policies.  In its deep wisdom,
                          the ARIN Board of Trustees adopted a Policy
                          Development Process that delegates and
                          constrains its role in the normal course of
                          policy development, but that does not change
                          the underlying authority to define the
                          policies by which ARIN operates. </div>

                            <div>
                              <div>
                                <p>More important to highlight is that
                                  any policies regarding allocation of
                                  revocation come exclusively from this
                                  forum. If this forum defines lack of
                                  payment is one of that reasons for
                                  revocation of resources and Board
                                  approves it according to the PDP, then
                                  the Board is free to adjust the RSA
