[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2013-6: Allocation of IPv4 and IPv6 Address Space to Out-of-region Requestors

[Eric Brunner-Williams]

I don't want to beat this jurisdictional horse much more, but the 1973
allocation of addresses to the TIP at NORSAR, the first
extra-territorial allocation of an ARPA address asset, did not arise
from a request originating in the US Departments of Justice, or State.

Jurisdiction was not an original constraint on allocation. Subsequent
allocations to the TIP in London, and later during the Defense
Communications Agency management period to sites in the West Pacific
and East Atlantic regions similarly did not arise from requests
originating in the US Departments of Justice, or State.

Jurisdiction as a constraint on allocation is proposed in the present.
My point is that it is novel, not required, and not a substitute for
existing law establishing nexus for a variety of ordinary business
purposes, unrelated to addresses and routing.
