[arin-ppml] Policy Proposal 122: Reserved Pool for Future Policy Development

[David Farmer]

I also question the statement regarding the nature of the consensus that 
was reached regarding the current 4.10.  I will agree that there was 
consensus that the current 4.10 is "insufficient" and needs additional 
guidance provided to staff regarding what the community thinks is 
appropriate use of this reserved block.

But, I did not hear a consensus that the rational for 2008-5, which is 
now 4.10, was fundamentally wrong.  Or that we do not need to reserve a 
block of IPv4 for deployment of IPv6 by those that will not have any 
other IPv4 in the future.

Therefore, I not sure there was a consensus that the current 4.10 is 
"potentially damaging and unbalanced with respect to transition efforts."

However, I would like the author of this proposal to further explain his 
view of the consensus that was reached, and how the current 4.10 is 
"potentially damaging and unbalanced with respect to transition efforts."

Do others support the author's view regarding the consensus that was 
reached or that the current 4.10 is damaging?

If we are going to revisit this issue again at this late date in terms 
of IPv4 run-out I would like to see a very strong show of support from 
the community to do so.  Without a strong show of support from the 
community to revisit this issue again, I believe that we should simply 
leave 4.10 as it is until staff has some implementation experience to 
report.
