Bill - As noted earlier, the proposal that was submitted referenced three reasons <https://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/ARIN_prop_189_orig.html> = 1. The rapid depletion of IPv4 space resulting from the present situation, 2. The challenging environment for law enforcement investigations, including the opportunity unscrupulous organizations to manipulate the system and acquire large blocks of ARIN IP address space for nefarious purposes, 3. The direct contravention of the Regional Internet Registry system resulting from ARIN assigning resources outside the region and implications for the current model. While the current policy text does not meaningfully change the process that ARIN presently uses for determining if an organization is in the region, the proposed policy text would (as noted in the staff assessment) add the step of confirming that a plurality of resources requested were justified by technical infrastructure and customers located within the region. In that way, the current draft policy does address the question posed by David Huberman and David Conrad earlier on this list; the same question expressed in the first reason in the original policy proposal (i.e. should ARIN continue to provide number resources to requesters operating outside the region, which may accelerate the depletion of the regional IPv4 free pool.) > If you want to write a proposal about whether addresses are actually > employed in a technical capacity within the geographic ARIN service > region, you'll choose different words and different concepts. I believe that that you would choose different words and concepts, but that may not true for others), and in any case the community needs to consider the merits of draft policy text as it is currently written.
