I'm wondering. ARIN and AfriNIC assign PI space for end-sites. They both do /48 (ARIN also does a /48 as I remember correctly). Isn't the discussion in the RIPE area not getting a bit too long and taken over by events.
As an example, NATO can also just as easily apply for space from ARIN (although RIPE covers more of NATO's area of operation as it seems). Something similar would be true for many International customers interested in PI.
Just wondering... Shouldn't we just give up our strong feelings and face the fact that other bits of the world have already acted, just do it and coordinate a global route filter policy etc so that things actually work? [...]
yes, "we" should do that, please send some troops to repacify the enemy dorkheads, thank you :-) </sarcasm> A while ago, i made a rather simple suggestion as a reaction to Jordi's latest incarnation of his PI-policy proposal (which is - sorry- stupid). The only concerns i've seen about it so far was that one might be a bit more precise about the wording. Since then i haven't seen much activitiy about the proposal anymore. I feel the urge to move on here. The PDP is getting really stupid at this point (>1,5 years?). If nothing positively happens with 2006-01 soon, i tend to hand in my own proposal and call for NATO air support :-) -- ======================================================================== = Sascha Lenz SLZ-RIPE slz@baycix.de = = Network Operations = = BayCIX GmbH, Landshut * PGP public Key on demand * = ========================================================================
