Changes to the ARIN's operations are within my authority; I try to be reachable to the community (and how... :-), but there's also the more formal ARIN Consultation and Suggestion (ACSP) process if desired: <https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp>. Changes to ARIN's fees, services, and agreements are done after consultation to the ARIN Board, and often go through the ACSP consultation process or are discussed at one of the meetings. Suggestions are also welcomed as per above, just as I asked Mr. Herrin to do earlier regarding the LRSA. Changes to the Number Resource Policy Manual (NRPM) <https://www.arin.net/policy/nrpm.html>, are made via ARIN's Policy Development Process.
