Michael -

You are correct - the ARIN Board can make (or suspend) policy without any input 
or approval if need be, but the Board has adopted the ARIN Policy Development 
Process that reserves such acts for emergency situations.   Accountability to 
the ARIN community is maintained via the ARIN members collective power to elect 
and remove Board members.

Best wishes,
/John
