"Principally outside" might be a bit strong, but clearly "outside" with little or no limits on the quantity of resources used outside the region.

I think everyone agrees entities getting resources from ARIN need a nexus with the ARIN region, a legal presence and operations within the region, but it's been difficult to get consensus quantifying how much or how little nexus is necessary, beyond simply having one.

Put another way, I don't think anyone thinks entities with no legal presence or operations within the ARIN region should be getting resources from ARIN.  But consensus on limits or requirements beyond that has been difficult.
