Hi John, That's a fair question. I hope I don't mischaracterize the ITU's position when I say they think a strictly regionalized registry system is detrimental to business in exactly this manner. They would have themselves designated as a registry with worldwide scope in order to serve these interests among others. I'd offer this answer: if we want to continue as a system of regional registries then it's generally appropriate for a multinational organization get acquire the number resources it deploys in each region from that region's registry. One network. Five suppliers, whose goods have geographical constraints on their use. If a system of regional registries is no longer indicated, that's a much bigger topic of discussion which we shouldn't back-door by having ARIN unilaterally act as registry to the world.
