That is correct as long as that direct allocation came from ARIN.  A really large chunk of address space was allocated (especially to the government entities) way before ARIN was controlling the space.  I think the large percentage of space held by non-ARIN members come from those really large allocations going back to ARPANET and DDN days.

AFAIK A lot of those entities are not necessarily members although they could be if they want to be.

>>Yes and no... Everyone who receives a direct allocation is a member.

>>Those who receive direct assignments from ARIN, OTOH, are not members unless they choose to also pay an additional $500/year for that membership.
