I have one comment >(see below) Thanks. Are you supporting my idea except this one? Sorry for the delay in responding. I feel that it is essential that we have a global policy. I feel that it is also very important that we have a policy, some sort of criteria that is used to determine who gets blocks from RIRs and who gets them from their ISP. I know that there are always ways of circumventing the policy, but we still need to have one. I understand Wilfried's comments on making sure we don't inhibit deployment of IPv6. I also feel that we should try out best not to make the mistakes of the past (creating the haves and have nots, and other things discussed already). I believe that your proposal with the recently suggested change is a good start along the way of having a global policy. I am not sure if this will be approved in all regions. I'd like to see it put into a draft so that the upcoming APNIC and ARIN policy groups can discuss it.
