Your second argument is that the staff already has all the tools it needs to do 
what is in section X.1.
This is not something the staff report said to us in its assessment, however, 
so I would discount that.

You can discount it, but I respectfully say I'm right :)  I did do this, on the 
front lines, for 10 years, and Leslie and I developed ALL of the fraud 
protocols.

You main argument, therefore is that "out-of-region requestors [are] abusing the 
policies" and  "we need to
draft text that significantly and materially helps ARIN staff fight fraud from 
out-of-region requestors."
  Apparently you think the authorization to engage external entities to help 
with verification does not
address that. Can you explain why?

I feel like I have in my first response.  X.1 is no-op because nothing changes. 
 Staff already can and do conduct
these types of activities when investigating fraud.  They may not have "engaged 
outside entities" to help with
investigation, but they've always had that purview (that is, with parties who 
would be under attorney-client
privilege).

For the most part I agree x.1 is basically a no-op, if you are assuming that out of region use has been permitted all along. However, not everyone makes that assumption. If you make the opposite assumption, that out of region use has never been permitted, then it absolutely isn't a no-op, its a major policy shift.

In my opinion, the reason we can't make any headway on dealing with the issues staff has reported is the ambiguity of the status of out of region use has to begin with. Hence the problem statement put forward.

Their are those that seem to oppose any acknowledgment of out of region use all together. And there solution to staff's issue is deny all out of region use. On the other side, we have those refuse to acknowledge there can and should be any limits on out of region use. Mix in those that think we shouldn't be doing anything about IPv4 policy at all. Then we have a quagmire that is worse than the transfer policy issues several years ago.

Personally, I think we have to clarify out of region use before we can come to any rational policy discussion that deals with the issue staff has raised. Again, hence the problem statement put forward.
