LoL… Except that among enterprises, he is unfortunately not really in a 
minority. At least not yet.

As much as I applaud ARIN’s efforts in this area, I think you would be hard 
pressed to identify an RIR that has done less, except possibly AfriNIC and even 
there, I think it’s questionable.

That’s not criticism of ARIN’s actions, either. I think ARIN has done what it 
can within the mandates it has received from its membership, as it should.

ICP-2 Approval of another RIR is, um, unlikely at best.

You seem to be assuming he’s in the internet business. He made it pretty clear 
he’s talking from the enterprise perspective where the internet isn’t the 
revenue generating portion of the business, but merely
one of the many tools used by the business to accomplish its revenue goals.

I disagree with Michel in a number of areas. He and I have had frank 
discussions about this. However, the points he raises are legitimate and we 
ignore or dismiss them at our peril.
