presuming this course of action is taken, it raises a much larger issue consisting of the IETF creating "property rights" in the address space arena. To date, (AFAIK) most legal arguments have taken the line that IP addresses are NOT property, come from a common resource that the RIR's administer for the good of the community. ULA-C carves out a bit of IP space and in the absence of RIR oversight, creates "property"... creating an ambigious set of legal issues which will be fought for years.
I -REALLY- am uncomfortable w/ the IETF, in a mothballed WG, creating this nightmare for the operational community. --bill On Fri, Jun 08, 2007 at 09:14:04AM +0200, Brian E Carpenter wrote: > I trust that the new version will include the proposal > for a fully robotic solution for creating and escrowing > guaranteed-unique ULAs.
