Where is the "running code" when it come to (eg) denying IXPs the right to have provider-independent IPv6 addresses (as was the case for some considerable time).
that particular policy bug was fixed in the summer of 2001. In the 12.5 years since then, I think we can reasonably claim that the RIPE community has built up a vibrant interest in actively managing its addressing policies using bottom up principals.
And I don't dispute that for a moment. Currently I'm particularly interested in getting the "underbottom" (that's users and their representatives, rather than typically the layer above, their connectivity suppliers) more involved in that process. It's a bit like "civil society, but without the anticensorship flavour". -- Roland Perry
