Since we do have a service region, we require requesters to be operating in
the ARINregion and to announce the least-specific in the region, but nothing
precludes announcement of same or more specifics from outside the region.

the link you have provided is from a presentation made at ARIN31. It's a presentation showing ARIN's current practices.

Regarding the 'least-specific announcement', I see there are some questions already in the presentation, have these questions been answered by any updates of the policy (or procedure) since then?
If not, as Nick's initial question was regarding RIPE policies, can you please point us to the ARIN policy or procedure document saying that less specifics *must* be announced from the ARIN region?

The presentation resulted in discussion of changing current ARIN practices and/or codifying
them into policy, and this led to Draft Policy ARIN-2013-6 "Allocation of IPv4 and IPv6 Address
Space to Out-of-region Requestors" <https://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/2013_6.html>,
which was discussed at length and then abandoned.   We continue to operate as I explained
above, and I felt was important to note that here since there easily could have been some
confusion about ARIN's practices given the list comments and recent policy discussions.

Thanks!
