[arin-ppml] Policy Proposal 2008-2: IPv4 Transfer Policy Proposal -Revised

[Scott Leibrand]

It doesn't say it must be used in North America.  It says it must be 
*registered* for use there.  That means it must be registered with ARIN.

This is not (intended to be) a new restriction: we're just trying to avoid 
having people come to us with LACNIC, AFRINIC, RIPE, or APNIC space and 
asking ARIN to transfer it.

As I mentioned before, suggestions for improved wording are welcome.
