[ppml] Policy Proposal: IPv4 Soft Landing

[Bill Darte]

I certainly think that ARIN's charter is consistent with the deployment of IPv6 addresses AND I think it can make efforts to educate the industry in their viewpoint on the matter and 'push' people toward the use of new(er) protocol numbers.... I see this similarly to that of 2 vs 4 byte ASNs issue and policy.

All that can come to pass.....given that those who take such positions, make such proposals and that the industry finds consensus in those proposals.  

Then, if the minority is of the opinion that ARIN over-reaches, then they sue.... 

Seems to me that's the way of things in general.

It certainly seems ARIN's articles of incorporation are worded broadly 
enough to do this:

http://www.arin.net/about_us/corp_docs/artic_incorp.pdf

Article 7 (6)  "to promote and facilitate the expansion, development, 
and growth of the infrastructure of the internet for the general public 
and members by any means consistent with the public interest through 
other activities, including, but not limited to,..."

I don't know if there are any amendments to this article, or what legal 
footing ARIN is with respect to taking an active stance
in managing the transition.
