Paul,
The topic is discussed in more detail in draft-ietf-cidrd-addr-ownership-07.txt:
Interesting that you reference a draft that was opposed by numerous people, and did not reach 'rough concensus', to support a new draft :-) It is like building your house on quicksand.... it is sure to sink into the quick eventually.... As you can see, many of us are engaged in 'contract issues' at the moment .... viz. (Contract and RA) and are not actively commenting on this draft.... but, IMO, it requires 'some work' to move toward an objective engineering document and has obvious bias that is still not technically supported (emotionally supported, yes). If you could contain this discussion, for the moment in the PIER-WG and out of the radar range (i.e. NANOG) for a while it would be appreciated, I think. But then again, you are certainly free to do PIER-WG work in NANOG... but why? Best Regards, Tim
