Hi Gert,
I think what Joao was suggesting was that if the nameserver had been in NASA's v6 block, then rapid renumbering would have made it viable to demand the whole block back from NASA when the nameserver was shutdown. While this is nice in theory, I tend to agree with Randy that it is not very likely in reality for a huge organisation like NASA.
As I read it, it means that the root-server will get its own allocation, and that allocation follows the rootserver around.
That's the original discussion point. However, there's a little throwaway comment in one of Joao's subsequent emails in which he says... "No, NASA should probably not return their IPv4 space. With IPv6 you can do it right, so why not do it right?". To me, that implies that you can force an organisation like NASA to return *all* their v6 space and renumber in this kind of situation.
Sounds surprisingly reasonable to me.
For the initial discussion point, yes. For the subsequent point, above, absolutely not.
