Hi John, If that's what you truly believe and the rest of the RIR leadership agrees with your viewpoint, may I respectfully suggest that you collectively task the NRO with creating a uniform policy and policy process to replace the regional policies and process we have now. This is one of those things where the middle ground compromise is distinctly worse than either pole. Either act regionally with policies and address pools for use within the region or act globally with policies and address pools for use worldwide. The middle ground lends itself only to unfair advantage for multinational operators who can shop multiple regions for advantage. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin ................
