Well, one obvious reason why we are having this conversation is that the current section 4.1 (which you reference above) contains a pointer to RFC2050, which will soon be deprecated. Rather than lose that pointer, this policy proposal seeks to codify the most relevant bits of RFC 2050 (the principles as we see them today) into the NRPM. Another reason is that it would seem to make sense to have a single set of over arching principles for number resource management by the RIR in one place, and then have IPv4, IPv6, and ASN specifics in each of those sections. Finally, we are having this discussion because many appear to find it relevant and important, as an AC member discussing proposed policy changes is kind of your thing now. ;-) Cheers, ~Chris > > _______________________________________________ > PPML > You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to > the ARIN Public Policy Mailing List ([email protected]). > Unsubscribe or manage your mailing list subscription at: > http://lists.arin.net/mailman/listinfo/arin-ppml > Please contact [email protected] if you experience any issues. -- @ChrisGrundemann http://chrisgrundemann.com _______________________________________________ PPML You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to the ARIN Public Policy Mailing List ([email protected]).
