Re: [address-policy-wg] ripe-587, Temporary Internet Number Assignment Policies

I have the strong suspicion that this is another example of trying to codify special/corner cases. Doing this takes disproportionate amounts of energy and causes an ever increasing amount of undesired side effects. <shields up> How about giving the RIPE NCC discretion to make sensible decisions about the corner case ‘scientific experiment’ after getting advice from a panel of scientists? Or delegating the decisions to such a panel? This way we could avoid spending energy on codification and avoid the undesired side effects. We would just need to find a couple of credible people to review the requests. I expect this to be less work than codification and re-codification … Daniel
