Funding IP Allocations

[cc'd reduced]

One concern I've heard expressed is that since the money was not
exclusively derived from ARIN service area sources that it would be
inappropriate to use that money to promote a service that would be
used only for the ARIN service area.

Note that I do not necessarily agree with this reasoning.
