Agree with Owen - "policy" is not the optimal word. "The experiment’s outcomes must also be published in a publicly accessible policy”. Most of the time, the results of an experiment don't end up in a policy. They end up in a research paper, or end up being used by a company/lab. I think the spirit of this sentence is that doing an experiment on ARIN-allocated temp research space should result in publishing (however that's done - could even be a blog post or something) these results publicly. Perhaps a better phrasing is publicly accessible document, repository or format?
