Strangely, this just arrived a few minutes ago, even though the timestamp is
almost two weeks ago!?
I support this in concept. However, isn't it just an editorial change and thus
not requiring the full-blown policy process?

You are encouraged to discuss all Draft Policies on PPML. The AC will evaluate
the discussion in order to assess the conformance of this Draft Policy with
ARIN's Principles of Internet number resource policy as stated in the Policy
Development Process (PDP). Specifically, these principles are:
* Enabling Fair and Impartial Number Resource Administration
* Technically Sound
* Supported by the Community

Draft Policy ARIN-2020-11: Add Textual Description for the Number Resource
Hierarchy Image in Section 2
Problem Statement:
The beginning of Section 2 in the NRPM shows a diagram of how addressing
responsibility is delegated. However, this image does not appear to have a
description or even alt text, and the actual text is not selectable. This could
have accessibility implications, especially those with sight-related
disabilities, or if the NRPM is translated into other languages.
Policy statement:
Proposal: Add the following text before the image in Section 2:
Responsibility for management of number resources is distributed globally in
accordance with the following procedures:
* Global number resource management is performed by the Internet Assigned
Numbers Authority (IANA). IANA distributes number resources to RIRs (AfriNIC,
APNIC, ARIN, LACNIC, and the RIPE NCC), but not directly to LIRs (Local Internet
Registries) or end users.
* RIRs, such as ARIN, distribute number resources to LIRs and directly to
end-user organizations.
* LIRs may further delegate number resources to other LIRs, as well as to other
end-user organizations.
Replace the text “ISP Internet Service Provider” in the graphic with the text
“LIR Local Internet Registry”
Timetable for implementation: Immediate
