**** Please read Randy's message - again - and once more. I follow the discussions from even higher up than Randy ;-) but they give me a very disturbing and sometimes discouraging sense of deja-vu. Please consider the following -again: - address space, however large, is never quite as infinite as it may seem - V6 per-se does *not at all* solve the routing (table) problem - proper trade-offs between conservation, aggregation and ease of obtaining address space are curcuial, but not easily achieved/agreed and vary with time as technology develops - proper registration data is *crucial* for problem tracking and *security*, read: routing authentication - you can only usefully keep registration data at a neutral registry - it is *extremely hard* to clean up registration data that has not been properly collected and/or maintained We have learned most of this by experience, let's not unlearn it.
