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

[David Huberman]

Yep.  The traditional anti-RIR shopping rule is unpublished.  It's a common sense rule that the RIRs applied for many years to deal with RIR shoppers and to deal with international backbones.  Once APNIC ran out, however, chaos entered into the equation.  Hence where I believe we are today.

David,

I am not referencing policy, but the auto-template ARIN sent me during our last resource request explicitly stated no out of region use which forced us to register as RIPE LIR for a single out of country POP.

Thanks, Jeff
