Hi David, I think that's the wrong question. I think that's a destructive question with answers that range from bad to worse. A better question is: should we have regionally confined resource pools (and policies) or global resource pools (and policies)? There was a proposition posted here a while back to the effect that the regional registries were only supposed to be a local interface to the global address system. They weren't supposed to diverge in to distinct governance regimes. Would that be better? There is extra challenge in developing global policy, but it would in theory permit the assignments to be used globally without creating any "flag of convenience" fairness problems. But... is permission to employ addresses globally worth the cost of regional autonomy? Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin ................
