Hello Joel, authors and lisp list, while I think the document is overall reasonably written it has one problem: it's bound to an proposed EID address block that has no guaranteed end of life.
If this experiment would clearly terminate after 3+3 years then I would say it's good to go. It's not the way the RIRs have written their documents but I think that's okay for a experiment and a 6 year time frame. But the proposals allow the requested /32 EID block to be turned into something permanently. For a permanent EID block it's reasonable to assume the RIRs deal with the allocation/assignment work ([1]) and then the document would need more alignment with RIR policy documents. A simple example would be the language, "allocation" is used throughout while "assignment" is only mentioned in the Introduction. I checked both ARIN and RIPE and it's clearly defined there. It's also going too far in telling IANA to not have a regional policy. So in short (and in all honesty): not feeling comfortable with the document in the context of a potential permanent impact of the document. Regards, Marc [1]: if the proposal is to have finally an additional authority beside the RIRs for address allocation then I would reject the proposal. On Wed, 08 Oct 2014 09:14:16 -0400, Joel M.
