Draft Policy ARIN-2015-5 Out of region use
I support this policy. The whole point of the Internet and all sorts of subsequent technologies such as ubiquitous virtualization, virtual networks and the like is that physical location does not and should not matter. If I am legitimately using IP addresses on the global Internet and for whatever reason wish to move around where I am using which addresses, the regional nature of the registries (a convenience created to make it easier for people to "get addresses locally") should not restrict this.
There is no legitimate reason why policy should prevent me from suspending a rack full of running VMs here at my house and resuming them a few seconds later on the other side of the planet, using exactly the same IP addresses they're using now.
To the extent I wish to acquire more addresses, it is reasonable for there to be a requirement that I have a real business presence of some sort in the region where I'm requesting the space.
