actually, it's a RIR Policy. So it would be quite quite logical to follow the RIR policy process and only let RIR-members ("LIR" or whatever it's called outside RIPE) vote.
Don't really know if Daniel would yell on that.
Sure, because it's "the ISP monopoly deciding things that hurt all the poor end users". Also, in the RIPE land, it has *never* been the way that "only LIRs decide" - to the contrary, all RIPE processes are open to anyone to come to meetings (or subscribe to mailing lists) and enter discussions.
But actually that's what i was thinking about (we're exclusively on RIPE WG Mailinglists here anyways). Don't know why i added the "in public" part in first place. No real reason. It would be stupid to think about a "at large" vote on that issue, ICANN failed trying to establish such things :-)
Doing it in a non-open way would directly play into ITUs hands. Gert Doering -- NetMaster -- Total number of prefixes smaller than registry allocations: 81421 SpaceNet AG Mail: netmaster@Space.Net Joseph-Dollinger-Bogen 14 Tel : +49-89-32356-0 D- 80807 Muenchen Fax : +49-89-32356-234
