[ARIN]

The ARIN Advisory Council (AC) has classified "ARIN-prop-255: NRPM 
Cleanup" as an editorial change to the Number Resource Policy Manual (NRPM).

The text of the editorial change is below for consideration.

The process for editorial updates to the NRPM is found in Part One, 
Section 3.1, paragraph 3 of the PDP:

"Changes to policy that are purely editorial and non-substantial in 
nature are outside the scope of the full Policy Development Process and 
may only be made with 30 days public notice followed by the concurrence 
of both the ARIN Advisory Council and ARIN Board of Trustees that the 
changes are non-substantial in nature."

Your feedback on this editorial update is encouraged. The review period 
will close on 25 October 2018.

Editorial Change: NRPM Cleanup (Formerly ARIN-prop-255)

Problem Statement:

Current NRPM has many inconsistent title and organizational issues.

Policy statement:

A number of small, editorial changes are provided in order to help clean 
up the NRPM, by standardizing the section titles, and collapsing the 
retired sections from multiple lines into single lines. The official 
text of the actual changes are provided as a separate document 
(https://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/attachments/nrpm_with255.pdf) in 
order not to clutter this proposal template. The changes listed below 
take place in both the table of contents as well as at the head of each 
section within the NRPM.  Due to the number of changes, they have been 
collapsed into the following three areas.

1. These  sections have been retired and removed from the NRPM. Where 
appropriate, multiple levels of retired sections have been collapsed. 
Any remaining section text has been changed to [Retired].
