If they're using taxpayer supported networks to provide transit to a private, for profit entity, we should all care.
presumably 44/8 is shorter than the prefix AMZN is going to announce, right? (the /10) so... either UC wll eat backscatter when/if AMZN dorks u ptheir announcement/routing-config OR this isn't an issue. Right? Also, who's this 'we'.. I don't live in california... I presume UC is getting funding from california, not virginia. (mostly) It seems though that 44/8 was being used in some research project at UC so... maybe this is just that still at play. less nefarious and more 'meh, why change if we don't have to?'
I'm not sure how you're quite going in this direction...
In order to sell something, you must own it...if you pop up, claim responsibility for it, sit on it a while, and then sell it.. did you truly own it?
didn't the ardc thing come into existence ~10 yrs back? though what looks like legit paths...
If you represent a community, in theory, and sell something without prior discussion, are there ethical concerns around that?
it sounded like there were discussions though (based on what Mr Fields said earlier Perhaps those weren't as upfront as some folk want? or perhaps they were constrained by the legal process surrounding the sale event (and negotiations leading up to that)
There are some potential legal title questions around this, and if ARIN is facilitating transactions with questionable history, that is something the Internet community might be concerned about.
sure.
Certainly, facilitating questionable transfers makes the idea of an RIR sponsored registry that controls routing less palatable to some individuals.
And this is why I'd love some additional color from the participants. Perhaps this is all explicable -- but that blog entry did not assuage my concerns.
perhaps they will pipe up now :) -chris
