[arin-ppml] support for 2014-1 (out of region use)

[Milton L Mueller]

Draft policy 2014-1 attempts to solve a problem left over from last year. During 2013 there was a round of policy proposals attempting to tie ARIN allocations more closely to usage in the region. They failed to gain consensus because they would have interfered with trans-regional networks in undesirable ways. Yet, current policy is still ambiguous on the issue of out of region use of ARIN registered resources. This proposal attempts to clear up that ambiguity in a way that avoids harmful effects on transnational or trans-regional network operators. The gist of the idea is to allow out of region use for organizations eligible for ARIN resources, but also provide policy authorization for ARIN to charge fees to verify the identity or usage of applicants outside the region. I think this approach provides the most flexibility while addressing the only real problems that have been cited for out of region use (verification issues).
