It will take me a while to set out all the detail as to the technical difficulties the experts would face if this was ever to become a policy, so in the interests of not having to put the effort into doing that I fully endorse this approach (though I hope that the proposers will read the list and save the chairs from having to make the decision). (( You will all have read my previous emails -- there will not be much new in my detailed analysis, but it will doubtless be of some use to collect it all together if this deeply flawed proposal is to stagger on yet longer )) BTW: it should be noted that the ARIN Board of Trustees threw out the same proposal when it was made there... https://www.arin.net/about/welcome/board/meetings/2019_0620/ ... also (on a brighter note), although law enforcement does move slowly in this space, it does indeed move. https://krebsonsecurity.com/2019/09/feds-allege-adconion-employees- hijacked-ip-addresses-for-spamming/ (and there a couple more cases in the pipeline). -- richard Richard Clayton Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
