[ppml] "Recommended Practices" procedure

Tue Apr 25 18:05:27 EDT 2006

I also think this effort is worth pursuing.

The time frame of the IETF is certainly a factor.

And the open process of ARIN and a single living policy document that is
ammended and revised seems well suited to this task. 

I think it seems natural to group number policy and routing policy
together as they are closely intertwined.  

Yet ARIN/NANOG are US centric.  What forums would take on this role in
other parts of the globe, and how would all of these get synthesized into
a single global policy standard?  

The IETF is a global group.  That may be both good and bad.  Good that
there is a single global standard, but bad if that standard under
represents certain regions of the globe.  

I guess my biggest concern is that I'm not sure there is a critical mass
of operators from each of the regions at the IETF.

The good news about having an email address that is twice as long is that
it increases traffic on the Internet.

If it were to reside as a Best business Practice Document with ARIN/NANOG then I feel the ability to "change" it when needed would also be easier to accomplish.
