2014-4 – Staff Summary• This proposal would remove existing

policy NRPM 4.2.5 as it is “technology specific language” that is obsolete and not in sync with current network practices.

2014-4 – Staff Assessment• If this policy were removed from NRPM, ARIN

staff would still be able to require technical justification for web hosting based on the overall requirement to show efficient use as outlined in NRPM section 4.

• This proposal could be implemented as written.

Resource Impact: Minimal (3 months)– Updated guidelines and internal procedures– Staff training

2014-4 – Legal Assessment– The policy does not create legal

concerns.
