[consult] re Community Consultation - Daily Publication of IP

[Cliff Bedore]

I'm not an ISP or any such but I would think that having the info 
published would outweigh not publishing.

If in fact, people start advertising available addresses that they don't 
have permission to use, at least they won't have messed up an existing 
address block by "stealing" it.

ISPs should be able to look at the list and see if spammers/??? have 
stolen an address block.  (I guess you can do this within the current 
ARIN lookup also.)  I don't know enough about routing/routing tables to 
know if this info could be used to filter "bad" addresses but that might 
be useful.

If 2008-2 passes, this list would be valuable to those seeking address 
space.  They could look and immediately tell if they can go to ARIN or 
will need to go to the "market"

I guess in general I think openness is good.
