Currently you have to be able to justify everything you need with in-region usage. If you can do that, then using the "remainder" out of region seems to be tolerated/permitted/allowed (not really sure which term best fits). But if you need 11 /48s in the ARIN region and 8 /48s in the rest of the world, ARIN is going to give you a /44, not a /40 and suggest that you get your space for the other regions from those RIRs. I believe 2014-1 attempts to correct that problem while still attempting to satisfy some of the more vocal opponents to out-of-region usage. I would much rather see a clean proposal that allows out-of-region usage by organizations with significant nexus in the ARIN region and a prohibition on double-dipping, but the community does not seem to support doing so at this time.
