[ppml] [address-policy-wg] 2005-01 - Last Call for Comments(HD-ratio Proposal)

[German Valdez]

Friends

>From LACNIC we have been following closely the discussion of this proposal.

This proposal was shared in LACNIC community, since then we have received
comments from members in LAC region. The comments in general show a concern
about the possibility that the adoption of this policy in other regions may
cause an excesive consume of IP addresses. The outcome of this would produce
a bigger disparity and unfairness in the distribution of address space among
the regions.

It is not our intention to influence in the policy in other regions, however
we call for caution and we exhort that all the elements involved be
thoroughly examined and also those potential consequences in other regions
be considered. .
