Thanks for submitting your suggestion, numbered 2013.6 upon
confirmed receipt, to add "needs based" in ARIN's mission statement.
Given that changes to ARIN's mission statement require Board review
and approval, staff will review the suggestion with the ARIN Board
during their next scheduled teleconference likely in May but
possibly in June 2013.<br>

Thank you for your suggestion numbered 2013.6 upon confirmed
receipt, regarding the need to include the term "needs-based" in the
ARIN mission statement. The ARIN Board felt that this issue was best
addressed in the Number Resource Policy Manual (NRPM), and tasked
the Advisory Council with reviewing the principles section to ensure
that needs-basis was adequately documented.<br>

<br>
The AC determined that clarification of technical need was included
in draft policy, 2013-4: RIR Principles, which was implemented in 15
January 2014. This language now is part of the definition of
"Conservation" in NRPM 1.2.

consider it closed.<span style="font-family:Helvetica;
