[arin-ppml] ARIN-prop-155 IPv4 Number Resources for Use Within Region

[Jeffrey Lyon]

I would like to see this rewritten to indicate that the IP space must
be used either a) entirely within the ARIN region or b) by an
organization doing business in the ARIN region which would allow a
global organization to expand internationally with the ARIN issued
space.

It imposes  topological considerations on newly assigned resources for multinational operations domiciled in the ARIN region, in a way that favors some new entrants or returning resource holders over others.
