Good intent and somewhat competent

> ... ARIN will be a *non-profit* organization...

One should not wave the words "non-profit" or "501(c)" as a talisman.
There are plenty of such organizations which have enormous cash flows,
with very large pay-outs as "expenses", "salaries", and "benefits".

Whether arin would be such an organization is yet to be seen.  If
established, hopefully it's revenues would pretty much match expenses.

In order to ward off claims that excess cash will flow out as inflated
"expenses" and such, the revised proposals should clearly indicate how
revenue excesses will be handled.  The phrase "non-profit" is not, in
itself, adequate.
