Hi folks,

At the mic yesterday I offered to mild applause, a view that requiring
-more- IPv6 paperwork was not a timely thing to consider. As we
struggle to put IPv6 in users' hands, we need extra red tape like a we
need holes in the head.

On the other hand, our friends in law enforcement offered persuasive
arguments for the value of good and open reassignment documentation,
while wiser folks than I pointed out the value of knowing up front
what documentation will be expected and when.

So, I propose this compromise:

Let's optimize the documentation requirements and let's publish them.
But let's include this caveat:

"In the interests of facilitating IPv6 deployment, IPv6 reassignment
documentation requirements shall not be enforced before 1/1/2015."

Regards,
Bill Herrin
