– Staff Summary This proposal would remove existing policy NRPM as it is “technology specific language” that is obsolete and not in sync with current network practices.

– 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

– Legal Assessment – The policy does not create legal concerns.
