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

[John Curran]

Gary -

Since June 2013, there have been 52 requests that would not have 
been approved under the new policy because these organizations 
had only some equipment in a data center in the ARIN region, but 
either all or most of their technical infrastructure outside of the region
and most or all of their customers outside of the ARIN region.  

Total amount of space issued to these 52 organizations:   9,672 /24s,
(which is a bit more than a /11 in total) and nearly all organizations were based in the APNIC region.

FYI,
/John
