The reason I suggest two types of orgs (RIR, DNS registrar) is because ICANN has already effectively blessed them; or browser-makers have done the same regarding the green SSL certificates. I'm not suggesting to ask Mozilla Foundation who should be allowed to issue EID blocks. I'm saying there may be a way to avoid drafting complex qualification criteria, asking someone to to evaluate applications, lawyering, blablablah by relying on pre-existing "blessings" given to DNS registrars. Obviously the RIRs are considered trustworthy stewards of IP numbers, too. On Tue, Mar 5, 2013 at 3:40 PM, Joel M.

The simplest solution is for some company or institution to simply volunteer to do it, or collaborate with one-another to do it. -- Jeff S Wheeler <[email protected]> Sr Network Operator / Innovative Network Concepts _______________________________________________ lisp mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/lisp
