We cannot demand everyone participating in the consensus to reveal their potential to benefit financially from the change, but I think that it is reasonable to ask the "officials" to put their financial position on the public record.
I'll bite, even though I'm not an 'official' in this process I think. My potential to benefit financially from this change is zero. While I do still represent a LIR (holding a total of about a /17 worth of IPv4 address space) I don't foresee that LIR being part of any selling i.e. making money based on this proposal. All of the arguments why I'm pushing this proposal are on the table, no hidden agenda. As for your remark about IPv4 becoming obsolete - I think I'll be in the old folks home before IPv4 has been abandoned. Best, Remco (no hats)
