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

[Brian Jones]

+1 to your suggestion:

"
This policy is not intended to have any retroactive effect.  It should not
be construed to effect or invalidate any assignment or allocation
previously made by ARIN, one of its predecessor registries, or any ISP or
other LIR, based on good faith application information.  In particular
direct assignments previously made to individuals are not invalidated by
this policy.  However, this policy is intended to disallow any new
assignment or allocation made directly to an individual person, as is
current operational practice.
