Hi Heather, As near as I can figure, it's the whole darn thing. Pick a sentence, put it in quotes and ask, "What the heck does that mean?" For example: "Demonstrating that the entity raises investment capital from investors in the ARIN region." What the heck does that mean? Does it mean that if as a citizen of the Commonwealth of Virginia I own a single share of ChinaCorp, then ChinaCorp can register ARIN addresses for use in China? Maybe I don't have to, it's good enough that the Chinese ambassador residing in D.C. own a single share. How are staff supposed to assess whether an organization meets such an impossibly vague criteria? Frankly, I think the idea of expansively enumerating the situations in which addresses may be used outregion is unworkable and should be abandoned. If we want addresses to be blithely usable on a global basis, there are right ways and wrong ways to go about it. This is one of the wrong ways. A right way would be globally standardizing the address registration and transfer process, policies and address pools. No more regionality to IPv4 at any level, just multiple staffs following identical rules for access to the same assets. If we want regional policy control, that should and must include regional use constraints. That means address use outregion only where such use is strictly incidental to the in-region use. Number both sides of the New York to London link out of ARIN addresses, but the London office gets its addresses from RIPE. Regards. Bill Herrin -- William Herrin ................
