"This proposal limits LIRs and End-Users from obtaining reverse delegation (rDNS) from AFRINIC unless the address space is assigned or sub-allocated in the AfriNIC Database." In other words, no reverse DNS unless SWIP/rwhois. I assume you want to improve the accuracy of the registry database while giving ARIN the ability to enforce registration requirements, correct? This is one potential way to give the RIR a stick in which to enforce the registration of assignments in the database. > > There has to be the correct balances of freedom of use, with identifying > needs requirements.. > > Right now, someone can get a /16, and make the call out, and he can fill > that in 48 hours.. but the problem is identifying who is really using that > 'rented' IP space, and whether that /16 being rented out to others, is that > justification for more IP Space? > > The case can be made that 'speculators' can rent out IP Space to fill it up, > so he can get more before it runs out. > > I think the move to lower the /20 will help in getting IP(s) to real end > users, instead of 'speculators'.. > > But we also need to give ARIN teeth do something about companies who aren't > operating in accordance with guidelines.. > > But I doubt you will get consensus to give ARIN the power to revoke, Don't they already have the ability to revoke under clearly defined conditions? -- Cheers, McTim "A name indicates what we seek.
