I think that putting together RFCs that propose that ISDs pursue certain legal and financial arrangements is well outside the scope of the operations area and the IETF for that matter. I don't see this as an allocation issue or a technical issue wrt policy routing. As is applies to operating a small provider and a potential means to cooperate with other small providers by forming some sort of consortium it maybe could be considered an operations area item. I think what you have here is out of scope. Curtis, I think you miss the point. The goal is to solve technical problems (aggregation, renumbering). The side effects are legal and financial and we get blasted if we _don't_ discuss them. Years of CIDR bashing has made us, uh, somewhat sensitive to this. So this time, we're trying to discuss those issues up front. Tony
