[arin-ppml] Revised: ARIN-2017-4: Remove Reciprocity

[David Huberman]

In some countries, data sovereignty laws require all assets to be owned by an in country entity. A best practice for compliance is to register to the in country subsidiary and have that duly registered in the RIR. Doing it this way also gives you preferential treatment under data transport laws in some countries.

In other countries, to obtain transit of your route announcements, the prefixes must be registered in the local RIR or NIR.
