[Sincere apologies for duplicates] Hi, Back at the Montreal IETF, there was a BOF with the above title that generated significant "discussion". At the time, there seemed to be interest in discussing an experiment to see what would happen if the current restriction imposed by the registries that attempts to prohibit transfer of addresses between organizations were to be removed. APNIC offered to host a mailing list/archive for discussions aimed at coming up with a proposal for such an experiment and that mailing list is open for business (actually, has been for a while but was never announced for political and/or other reasons). Because I feel this topic is of value to the operational community (and maybe because I think the current registry restriction is insane :-)), I am announcing the mailing list being open even though I'm not one of the chairs of the maybe-someday-if-it-is-acceptible-and-the-lawyers- don't-whine-too-much-PIARA-WG-of-the-IETF-or-maybe-some-other-more- appropriate-organization. My apologies if this is felt to be in bad taste or whatever. In any event, the mailing list info: To subscribe: body of "subscribe" to piara-request@apnic.net To comment: body of useful flameless content to piara@apnic.net To unsubscribe: body of "unsubscribe" to piara-request@apnic.net The list is managed by majordomo, standard stuff applies. Let me know if you run into problems. Regards, -drc
