the link you have provided is from a presentation made at ARIN31. It's a presentation showing ARIN's current practices.<br>
<br>
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?</div>

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