[arin-ppml] About needs basis in 8.3 transfers

[Elvis Velea]

Hi David,

even further... for those that do not know yet, any legal or private 
person can become a member of the RIPE NCC while the ARIN 
policies/procedures still require a company to have a legal presence in 
the ARIN region in order to request resources.

And, btw.. have I already mentioned that the RIPE Community has 
completely removed the demonstrated need from their policy? I think I 
was only discussing this matter in the APNIC mailing lists and maybe 
those subscribed to this mailing list should also be aware of.

cheers,
elvis

There's a further argument that's been made that the time for regional IRs may be passed (past?) and that IETF should review the situation.
