If you doubt about folks stating anything, then you should read *before*
minutes of meetings. I'm now off-line in a plane, so can't point you to
a
specific URL, but this has been said at least in one ARIN meeting.

It has been clear across all this discussion in several exploders, that
there are both opinions, people that want ULA-C and people that don't.
What
you need to be smart here is to realize that those than don't want ULA-C
have no any objective reason to oppose to it, because implementing ULA-C
has
no negative impact in others. While opposing to it has negative impact
to
all: Folks will use global space (PA or PI) for doing the function of
ULA-C
an this is a waste, yes a small waste but a waste.

It seems to me irresponsible and unbalanced to do or try things like
changing the HD-ratio or the default assignment size to end-sites
because it
is a waste, and then oppose to those that want to have ULA-C, not
impacting
in others and avoiding one further small saving in global unicast space.

I'm not trying to convince anyone about supporting ULA-C, because it
seems
an impossible mission at least for a few, but at least, don't object to
it
if having it doesn't force you in any further implications, which is the
case.

Jordi

Hi Marla,

In fact, when I started to work on this, it was because I realized about
the
possibility to use ULA-C as the space for the microallocations and
talking
with different folks they said that it will be possible with ULA-C, but
not
ULA.

I also talked with people from the AC and they considered the point (I
was
told) to use ULA-C for the microallocations when ULA-C is available.

So my view is that probably the microallocations policy should not
expire,
but instead, be modified to make usage of the ULA-C space instead of
global
unicast.

Regards,
Jordi

Jordi-  We are saying the same thing.  Just how you get there is
different.  

It is true, we could either modify or eliminate the current ARIN policy
to work in unison with what might be a finsished RFC on ULA-C.  I just
believe that sometimes it is easier to start with a fresh policy.  In
this case, I think it would be less confusing to expire the current
policy and replace it with a new one that is more fitting as opposed to
trying to modify the current one. A modification could quickly confuse
anyone who has not been following all of the ULA emails and
conversations.

I suppose we can figure this out when we get to that bridge.

Cheers!

Jordi,
	You have this backwards.  Using PI for the purposes of ULA-C is
no  
waste
at all.  Sectioning off a huge chunk of address space for ULA-C is  
the waste.
If it's all PI, then, it can seamlessly move between being unrouted  
or routed as
the address-holder sees fit and as needs change.  If it is set aside  
as ULA, then,
the address space is forever wasted and cannot (theoretically) be  
used as
routable space, no matter how little of it is needed for ULA-C.

	Those of us who oppose ULA-C have what we believe to be an
objective
position that it provides no additional benefit over PI space while  
simultaneously
creating some unnecessary classification of addresses that makes  
their status
in the routing table ill-defined at best.  In our opinion, this  
carries the potential
for significant consequences globally.

	Just because we do not agree with you does not mean that our
concerns
are not legitimate.

	Do I think UUNET and others should be able to get secondary  
microallocations
to solve the problem they presented? Absolutely.  Do I think that we  
need to set
aside a /8, /12, /16, or whatever separate from the rest of PI space  
to do it? No.
We should just issue them a /48 or whatever it is they need from the  
general
pool of available PI space and be done with it.  No waste at all.  No  
negative
consequences to anyone.  No ambiguous status as to where you can or  
can't
route the addresses, etc.

I agree wholeheartedly.  There is nothing you can do with ULA-C that you
can't do with PI and a minor firewall rule or two.  Leaving the space as
PI gives it either-or capability, putting it as ULA reduces PI.  (And
don't talk about 'more PI than we could ever use'..  remember when Mr.
Gates told us you would never need more than 640K of RAM?)(of course he
denies it now..)
