[arin-ppml] Request for Comment & Feedback: Draft Policy ARIN-2025-3: Change Section 9 Out Of Region Use Minimum Criteria

[Chris Woodfield]

> Furthermore, the total prohibition of out-of-region usage justification the waiting list now puts global anycast deployments, which necessarily involves announcing the same subnet simultaneously inside and outside of the ARIN region, in a grey area. By phrasing it this way, it invites further questions and may cause ARIN staff to reject any waiting list justification that involves anycast, which is permissible under ARIN policy today. I don't think this is something we want to do.

To comment on this particular point - in my experience, anycast has never been interpreted as out of region use, as long as at least one site advertising the routes is within the ARIN region. If the potential for this to be interpreted differently is a concern for the community, language making this nuance explicit would be ripe for a new policy proposal.
