Gordon Call it whatever you want. I was at a meeting with them. The ASO address council (I am a member) met with them. I was just referring to the group as the other folks did. Anyway based on the mtg I was at, it is very clear they are expecting global policy -- CJ --- This email was sent from my Palm(TM) i705 handheld (www.palm.com) Gordon.Lennox@cec.eu.int wrote: __________
"European Government Advisory Council"? I don't think that such a thing exists.
There was a meeting with the so-called "informal group" - a group of EU Member State officials with an interest in Internet matters - on the Friday of the RIPE meeting. They then met with a number of people from RIPE NCC, ICANN, ARIN, APNIC, IETF, etc.. on the Friday afternoon.
The confusion may come from the fact that some of the participants in the "informal gropup" also participate in the GAC, the ICANN Government Advisory Committee (see http://www.icann.org/committees/gac/).

Since the events of the recent RIPE working group meeting have not been discussed at either of the other regional policy forums, proposing something here may be somewhat premature. I do not believe, although things never cease to amaze me, that this will reach any sort of consensus within the ARIN region. I am not sure about the APNIC region. Based on some meetings with the European Government Advisory Council (just after the RIPE meeting) it is clear that it is important that we have a global policy. Is there maybe some way that we could come up with a compromise that would reach consensus in all three policy forums? Something other than requiring no justification for a /32?
Thanks ---CJ Wittbrodt
