I'd -REALLY- like to get the IETF legal team involved if this WG is seriously contemplating turning IP prefixes into owned property. 1,000 billion registrations at 1.0 eu per anum is an -HUGE- business. --bill Opinions expressed may not even be mine by the time you read them, and certainly don't reflect those of any other entity (legal or otherwise). -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Administrative Requests: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
