Hi Martin,

That seems fair. What do the rest of you think? Is this correct? Incorrect?


> clarifying that the allocations are for the ccTLD's themselves, not their hosters would also be appropriate.

I've been wondering about this. Do you have any language in mind?

My thoughts have been more toward the transfer side of the equation,
making sure the addresses stay with the critical infrastructure.
Instead of relying on section 8.2, would it be reasonable to set
explicit transfer requirements? Maybe something like:

8.7 Critical Internet Infrastructure

Addresses allocated under section 4.4 Critical Internet Infrastructure
shall be transferred only to the subsequent operator of the critical
infrastructure.

What do you think?

Regards,
Bill Herrin
