Yet most of the bad ideas in the past 15 years have actually come from the IETF (TLA's, no end site multihoming, RA religion), some of which have actually been fixed by the RIR's. no, they were fixed within the ietf. that's my blood you are taking about, and i know where and by whom it was

If the allocation and reassignment of address space has no policy associated with it, then there's no doubt that most of the registry functions can be automated, and there's no need for the associated policy development process, public policy meetings, travel, conference calls. Quite a bit

the fracking rirs, in the name of marla and and lee, actually went to the ietf last month with a proposal to push address policy back to the ietf from the ops. and they just did not get thomas's proposal to move more policy from ietf back to ops. and, to continue the red herring with jc, i

John, I will concur with Randy that much of the travel that ARIN funds is excessive. ARIN has a booth at trade shows so i'm going to guess that entire setup with travel costs about $20,000 - 50,000 per show. Why? To convince me to use ARIN for my IP space needs? To convince us to switch to IPv6?

Funny! On one hand people talk about ARIN providing IP allocation at nearly zero cost and on the other hand talking that ARIN goes after companies that use their allocation for abuse (which has a non trivial cost and potential expensive lawsuits)... Do you know what you want?

You seem to be suggesting that ARIN (and presumably the other RIRs) invest more in policing the address space and otherwise regulating the market. How much are you willing to pay for that service? and how would it make the internet any better? randy
