Jarno, this is exactly why the fixed charge is suggested - to make the cost of bulk hoarding significant. And no, I don't want to imagine such a bug - I have more confidence than that in IANA and the organisations IANA delegates to. Brian [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thomas Narten wrote:

Hello Brian, I think that the fixed charge is a mistake, and should be avoided. To avoid hoarding, of course it would be good to avoid bugs. In case, that is considered impossible (sigh!) we can also demand that each address and/or prefix be accompanied by a certificate generated by IANA with

In my opinion, Thomas is correct. This is a technical choice, not a policy choice, and well within the IETF's competence. (Speaking as co-drafter and co-signer of RFC 2860, among other things.) Brian Thomas Narten wrote: Alain Durand [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: On Feb 27, 2004, at 5:23
