Re: [address-policy-wg] RIPE Access Policy Change Request to allow allocations to critical infrastructure
Suggestion... RIPE will allocate /24 blocks from the IPv4 address range that was once called "Class C" address space for use by services that are part of the Internet's critical infrastructure. These blocks are for services that will exist for the forseeable future, are used freely by many organizations, and are likely to outlive the lifetime of the organization currently operating the service.
That's not helpful, as it centers around "critical infrastructure". How is the RIPE NCC supposed to evaluate how "criticial" something is?
A workable policy would need to have definitions of "infrastructure" and "critical" that RIPE can use to evaluate any requests.
.de reachability is mostly meaningless for the majority of the Internet users (as are all other ccTLDs).
Reachability of .com and .net is also mostly meaningless for the majority of the Internet users. They only care if they can get to .cn sites because they can only read one language. The Internet has never recognized the tyranny of the majority so I don't think we should be worrying about this today. --Michael Dillon

In which case I claim that my PC at home is a highly critical infrastructure as well. The majority could care less, of course, but I agree with you that I don't care about the majority. Which drives home the point just fine :-) Gert Doering -- NetMaster -- Total number of prefixes smaller than registry allocations: 57882 (57753) SpaceNet AG Mail: netmaster@Space.Net Joseph-Dollinger-Bogen 14 Tel : +49-89-32356-0 80807 Muenchen Fax : +49-89-32356-299
Michael and all, There is no such thing you call "tyranny of the majority", which has been a mantra of yours and some ICANN staff and BoD. Majority of stakeholders has always ruled or determined what policy and/or policies they want/desire. Michael.Dillon@radianz.com wrote:
