This would appear to be a serious change in the nature of the addresses
contemplated by the draft. I think we need to discuss how to implement
the addresses as specified, not how to make them more like existing rental
space. I also suggest that these types of concerns (which are inevitable
if the existing RIRs handle the allocations) are a strong reason to consider
using a separate allocation authority.
We should hold the line on perpetuity. These things are cheap and plentiful,
so I just don't see any of the arguments against perpetuity as valid.
