Yes, it's clear that you support the intent of 2014-1, which is to
reconcile actual staff practice with an approved policy. But it also
sounds like you think our threshold requirement can be gamed? The
"speaking Romanian" issue (or more likely, speaking Chinese) has been
the subject of fierce debates. Do you have specific suggestions for how
we could fix this?
I haven't thought of anything yet that I don't think would be trivial to
game. Operating in region could be accomplished with as little as one
cloud VM. "Doing business in" could be done with a Delaware shell company
that "exists in region", but only on paper.
This may be too arbitrary, but what if to qualify to be permitted to
use/request resources from ARIN for out of region use, in addition to
what's already in 2014-1, you had to be an ARIN member for some minimum
amount of time (i.e. already have resources managed by ARIN)? 1 year?
The idea would be to make it harder for a completely "out of region"
entity to come to ARIN under this new policy and game the system and
use ARIN as an alternative to their "local" RIR.
