There are people who go both ways on this. MCI clearly has a serious foot in the IRR camp, just as I do in the DNS camp. I tried to stay away from my opinions of the two options. I was hoping more to stimulate people to look and think than to debate IRR vs DNS here. As for not trusting the IP registries, I don't see that. We have to trust the registries to make unique IP allocations, and since that what routes are talking about, it's the best place to start. Where the rest of the (which ASs..) data goes is not the same, and can/will be argued out. Neither existing proposal suggests that the routing data be in the IP registries. My point is if the IP regitries don't play, we loose before we start. jerry
