Re: [sig-policy] prop-057-v001: Proposal to change IPv6 initial allocation criteria



Hi Izumi,

Izumi Okutani said the following on 6/2/08 13:42:

I see what you mean and tried to play with some words, but I felt
putting a word that makes it sound like a requirement gives quite a
strong impression.

"plan" doesn't make any requirement at all, as I pointed out before. Apart from in Japan, it seems. ;-)

In retrospect, I think your new words of:

  The LIR should also plan to announce the allocation as a single
  aggregated block in the inter-domain routing system within two years.

should be replaced with:

  The LIR must also announce the allocation as a single aggregated
  block in the inter-domain routing system within two years.

Just delete the word "plan", as a plan is nothing more than a vague statement of some future intention which may or may not come to pass. Also change "should" to "must" - that's a commitment now!

As I also indicated before, I'm amused that you propose the word "plan" for the updated text, yet it was a complete show stopper for the 200 number that you are trying so hard to delete.
