That is correct. > You stated that the reported message (demanding certification that the > infrastructure be in-region) was part of ARIN's procedures throughout > the time period in which the 52 requests were honored. Bill - ARIN's current procedures have requesters "verify that you will be using the requested number resources within the ARIN region and announcing all routing prefixes of the requested space from within the ARIN region." All 52 requesters verified the above. There is frequently discussion of the term "use in region" (just as raised in Frank Bulk's email). As noted in the policy experience report, the "use" of the addresses within ARIN region is often accomplished via nominal hosted infrastructure within the ARIN region, despite being driven by customers predominantly outside of the ARIN region. See pages 9 through 14 of the referenced ARIN 31 Policy Implementation and Experience Report for details, and do not hesitate to contact me here (or via [email protected] directly) if you have questions - <https://www.arin.net/participate/meetings/reports/ARIN_31/PDF/monday/nobile_policy.pdf> We report policy experiences such as this one so that the community can consider whether changes to policy language are warranted, and that can either be to change the intent of the policy, or policy changes to make clearer the present intent and hence drive better implementation.
