Hi Jeff, Nice to hear from you. Interesting idea. But if this is a free for all, I can just declare to the world that I have rights to 18/8? Or maybe just the subnet that includes ns.mit.edu. And then I announce it and everyone believes it. I think that is the problem we are trying to solve. Without some form of authoritative hierarchy we haven't solved anything. One possibility is that providers can pick who they trust. If a RIR causes trouble maybe they get dropped by some providers with an alternate considered authoritative. This could make peer pressure a factor, or it could fragment the web of trust and limit acceptance.
