Re: [sig-policy] Final Call for Comments prop-069: Global policy proposal for the allocation of IPv4 blocks to Regional Internet Registries

[Terry Manderson <terry@terrym.net>]

I appreciate the author's efforts in getting the suggested wordings to  
the community in a prompt fashion.

I have no major issues with this policy - I have operational/ 
implementation concerns that I think will tie the RIRs collectively in  
knots if this policy is used. But as the policy stands - nothing to  
object to.

My crystal ball (as cracked as it may be) suggests that we wont ever  
see this policy enacted given that in a transfer market no IP  
addresses will ever go back to the RIR, to then be handed to the IANA  
for re-assignment. (I can live with being proven wrong on that).

This is hindsight is probably why the authors cared not to respond to  
my previously stated concerns.

I then wonder if there really is a problem statement that needs to be  
addressed here? But if it were just to catch one sole instance of some  
great IP hand-back - then better to have a policy to handle it. In  
that sense the time to write, review, and make this reach consensus  
and be policy is worth it, I guess.
