A report or an opinion. @Whose words are reported? @ @ Since the material is not a "transcript", similar to what you might see from a court reporter or in a deposition it is the "view" of the person writing it. This may not be the way you view things in Singapore, but this is the common view from the U.S. where a free press has been in place for a long time. If you do assume that the ARIN view that was reported is equivalent to a transcript, then we have to agree to disagree, which is probably what we should have done long ago. I think that most people view the reporting that came from ARIN as their view of Magaziner's presentation. I am certain there are probably aspects which are left out. There are probably aspects that are given more emphasis than Magaziner intended. It is a shame that Magaziner and all of the people involved in these matters do not engage in mail list discussions. Then you would see exactly what they say and you could draw your own conclusions. Let's face it, most of the people trying to control the Internet resource allocation process are afraid of using the Internet.
