[arin-ppml] Policy Proposal: IPv4 Recovery Fund

[k claffy]

(old song, new lyrics)
it's poetic to see technocrats responding to the failure of a
technocracy with "throw the technocrats out, replace them with
code!" tho it fails to appreciate the non-technocrat response
to the same failure: throw the technocrats out and replace
them with a kind of [monk]-cracy that has't been tried yet.
since underneath the layers of technocrats in all RIR regions
are layers of non-technocrats, let's acknowledge the need to 
cover our bases.  to that end,

can we come up with a list of things in society that are traded, 
that we consider important, and that are traded (1) without 
mediation and (2) with mediation.  and then compare each list to 
ip addresses, and see which category it seems more like?

given that almost everything i buy today is either taxed or
otherwise regulated by some agency, this exercise might be
challenging, but someone one this list might have time to write
a ~5-page essay summarizing 10 hours of research?  if noone 
volunteers, AC council folks?

positions like 'X is traded with mediation, but it shouldn't
be, which changes our conclusion' belong in an appendix;
this community needs some documents thoroughly based on 
historical and present facts on the ground.

  what i do not understand about this scheme is how inserting a monkey in
  the middle of every trade is gonna be better for the internet than the
  buyer and seller transacting directly.  i can see why it is good for the
  monkey, but not for the redistribution of ipv4 space.
