ARIN can support whatever formats for number resource policy changes that the community wishes, but it is worth keeping two things in mind:
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"></span>1. Supporting multiple formats increases the expense/overhead of the policy process, in that materials must be converted and made available in each format whenever a revision occurs
in the content</div>
<div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"></span>2. Using solely text-based email makes participation in ARIN’s policy development process very open and accessible, and this is not the case of some other formats as they presume software
or skills that may not be readily available to all. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>That being said, the ARIN Consultation and Suggestion Process <<a href="https://www.arin.net/participate/community/acsp/process/" target="_blank">https://www.arin.net/participate/community/acsp/process/</a>> is available for this purpose if you’d like
to propose that ARIN support a particular set of formats for number policy discussions. </div>

There is, in fact, an even better tool available for the NRPM changes…
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There is a Bitbucket GIT repo containing all historic versions of the NRPM and it would be easy to create a fork and edit for proposed language.</div>

<div>Diffs are automatic and produce side-by-side redline comparisons that are easy to read and quite nice.</div>
