Is this intended to state a definition (section 2 is supposedly
definitions) or a requirement?

As a requirement, we should debate the merits of the definition versus
something simpler like, "represents a legal entity." It should also
clarify that government entities in Afghanistan may not be ARIN
organizations -- the entity should exist within the region ARIN
serves.

As a definition meant to help understand the rest of the document, the
text is counterfactual. There are a substantial number of org IDs in
the ARIN database which are none of these things.
