Re: Draft internic ip allocation doc
What's being asked for here is what a lot of businesses might consider proprietary or trade secret type information. There are few secrets on the Internet, we all know, once the network is in place, but plans for expansion and new business ought to be confidential until the day the circuit is turned on.
It is the case that several regulatory agencies ask for similar information when an organization requests allocation of spectrum. For example, in the US the FCC asks for an "independent" engineering review for several classes of spectrum allocation. peter

The Internic(s) has no legal status as a regulatory agency. Specificly seeing as no one owns the Internet to regulate it, this is a completely bogus point. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Jeremy Porter (512)-339-6094 Freeside Communications, Inc. info@fc.net | | jerry@fc.net (512)-339-4466 (data) P.O.
