you guys making any noise about them!

--- (just for APNIC??? an LIR?)

So is your problem with AfriNIC or you are going to request IANA , RIPE NCC, APNIC too to 
send you their justifications? note that most of  the v6 assignments/allocations above were made 
in 2003 where none of these RIR had IPv6 PI policy in place.

Which point? Sorry, but not everybody is into prose, some people are engineers
and simply want straight words.

It is a problem with AfriNIC that has an effect globally.

It is not a fight, it is public questioning. If you want to ignore it, then
ignore it.

That openness is not there when a RIR makes up their own rules without asking
their membership. Or did I miss the superinternal memo that is not supposed to
be public in the first place?

Stop thinking in your little American box. Or is the war in Iraq something
that does not happen in the US and thus not relevant? To pull something in
that also shows that local decisions have global effects.

If you try to say "Shut up" to me then either:
 - simply say on this list
 - simply say so by sending a private message

And I am very sure that ARIN staff and other people are also very able to
provide me with a similar message when needed very quickly.

Please bring arguments along, they tend to help.

I brought that up as a note to show you *WHY* it was appropriate to bring
these matters up on the PPML mailinglist as policies and decisions happening
in other regions *DO* affect ARIN.

Let me repeat again, that I have NOTHING against that 2001:42c8::/32
assignment which is really a good thing and very well justified.

It only demonstrates that Address Policy is a global thing, not something
local. Organizations are global and the Internet is global.
Policies and laws etc are not but they do affect us globally.


And in case you don't like me mailing, then simply block all mail from
jeroen at unfix.org, which is always nicely PGP signed, thus should be very easy
to block in your MUA or even MTA.

Greets,
 Jeroen
