I don't agree that the transition from the NSF to its successor inherently created two or more disjoint resources, whether offered as "legacy / modern" or as "region X / region Y". I don't agree that a problem as framed exists. > Policy Statement: > > Any entity (individual or organization) requesting ARIN issued IP blocks > must provide ARIN with proof of an established legal presence in the > designated ARIN region, and have a majority of their technical > infrastructure and customers in the designated ARIN region. This > requirement applies to both IPv4 and IPv6 address space. I'm going through a choice of incorporation exercise, and part of the exercise is determining which jurisdictions have nexus, and for what purpose. Oregon has a telecommuter nexus, one of only two states, for the purposes of ensuring that Oregonians who telecommute to another jurisdiction have the ability to sue their employers in Oregon, not the remote jurisdiction, also establish jurisdiction for state corporate taxation purposes. Maine has a nexus my leasing colo space alone is sufficient to met, again establishing jurisdiction for state corporate taxation purposes. What _exactly_ is meant by "legal presence", is it mere jurisdiction of incorporation or is it more substantive, encompassing all jurisdictions with personal jurisdiction over the entity? What _exactly_ is the purpose of any qualifier other than those which establish the personal jurisdiction over the entity? Why is a pile o' kit (or eyeballs) a better tool to "weed out bad actors" than personal jurisdiction? ARIN exercises NSF-delegated rulemaking, not adjudication, authority.
