Re: [sig-policy] prop-069-v002: Global policy proposal for the allocatio
Hash: SHA1
I agree in principle on the policy, i am concerned, and agree with Terry
, about the operational impact of such a change.
How will rDNS be maintained. how'll the whois database be
updated/maintained and as such.
If the policy addresses these issues, I think it'll help in avoiding
confusion in future to all the RIR and IANA staffs implementing the policy.
thanks
