<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>Nothing “unofficial” about any of this – ARIN operates the registry according to the Policies published on the ARIN website, including those in the Number Resource Policy Manual. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">

<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>We apply these policies uniformly to all requests and are periodically audited to insure consistency of policy application – see "Registration Services Audit Reports” –

What I have found is that there is "Official" ARIN policy<br class="">
and policy created by the You and the Staff and you may or may not enforce it based on your wishes and desired outcome.<br class="">
You were just asked for policy example for clarification from Owen and you did a hard refusal.<br class="">
