It was not process that we used in the past, but shall be done that way going forward. To the extent that the community wishes to improve NRPM 11 policy text for this purpose of address space testing, that is also welcome. > Why would ARIN ever need to issue an LOA if whatever is distributed is > in the registry?

Agreed; that is the major benefit of taking an "NRPM 11" approach to address space testing - ARIN stays focused on being a registry and leaves the use of address space to registrants. Since registrants are unique for a given address block, we also preempt multiple parties with potentially conflict plans on the use (or routing) of any given portion of address space.
