I am not certain of the source of your confusion – both the ARIN Board and ARIN AC are elected by the ARIN membership.</div>

<div>Yes, the ARIN Board of Trustees adopts the ARIN Policy Development Process. The most recent version of the ARIN PDP was adopted in January 2013 after a community consultation that took place on the arin-consult mailing list in 2012 - </div>
