For somebody administering a network of 100 machines, the hassle cost of IP renumbering would be twenty times larger. Given this, how could anyone wonder why NAT is popular? Wrong. If you administer 100's or 1000s of machines you build or buy a system for doing address management. Renumbering is

There is an obvious question that at least for me drives the answer to whther the IAD is the IETF Executive Director. As currently practiced / defined, is the IETF Executive Director a full time job? If it is a full time job, then clearly it should not be combined with the IAD. THis implies
