So, rather than mute this thread, I'd like to attempt to redirect the discussion back to the stated subject.
It seems that we need to focus on the set of principles that are missing from 2050bis and have a clear consensus among the community. For supporters of 2013-4, I would love to hear which goals you feel are missing from rfc2050bis ( http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-housley-rfc2050bis/?include_text=1). I see significant overlap between what's listed there and the original 2013-4 text. If we could focus more narrowly on what is actually missing from there, I think we could usefully constrain the debate and get to consensus more easily. For opponents of the current 2013-4 text, I would love to hear whether there are any elements of 2013-4 (or the original RFC 2050) that are missing from rfc2050bis and would be good to document. -Scott On Wed, Jun 5, 2013 at 10:06 AM, Paul Vixie <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Milton L Mueller wrote: > > My perception is that the ARIN community is strongly biased to support > needs basis and there is a very vocal minority trying to eliminate it so that > they can create a market they can profit by.
