I provide all of the above in the spirit of maximal transparency, but there are indeed some practical limits to what can be provided. The community should know that there was no special deal – only a clarification that the USG sought that was both appropriate
under the circumstances and comparable to our handling other organizations that wished to move address space around internally.
Thanks for that expanded clarification about the DoD agreement, John. I'll note that although my agency did not go so far as an additional signed agreement, we did confirm we retained the ability to move portions of our IPv4 networks, including networks we had not previously used publicly, as required to contracted services acting on our behalf or other bureaus in our department as operationally needed. I understand the DoD desire for clarification.
Thanks again,
Scott
