Hi Marty,

Weak enforcement is not lack of a policy. NRPM 2.2 and functionally
identical language have been on the books all the way back to ARIN's
formation. There has been a tacit understanding that minor outregion
use would not be significantly penalized. On a practical level,
outregion use minor enough to disappear in to the rest of your
allocation still isn't penalized. You're caught because you made
wholesale use (not minor use) of ARIN addresses outregion and with
pool depletion ARIN is asking tougher compliance questions.

David says, "the time for RIRs being anything other than local
language/time/etc is passed." If you agree, global policy changes will
be needed to make it happen.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
