Thank you, this is exactly the type of input we are requesting. Clear, concise and to the point and especially easy to understand given the examples you have provided.<BR>

*I have a serious problem with this one. As an entrepreneur I have<BR>
created and/or purchased over a half-dozen companies which use IP<BR>
address space.<BR>
<BR>
It would be fatal to some of these businesses for their IP address<BR>
management to be lumped together simply because I am the majority owner<BR>
of more than one of these. Among other things, it would drastically<BR>
complicate things when I (as I often do) sell these entities to new<BR>
owners or investors. As an example, I recently sold a podcasting-related<BR>
entity shortly after I acquired a wireless ISP. Both used IP addresses,<BR>
but in vastly different ways. Both are separate legal entities, one a<BR>
California corporation which is now dissolved and whose assets are part<BR>
of the Texas corporation, the other a Delaware corporation. There should<BR>
be no reason why two different corporations should be required to share<BR>
management of their IP address space simply as a consequence of their<BR>
current ownership.<BR>
<BR>
Ask any company doing private equity buyouts if they want to be managing<BR>
the IP address space for the various types of companies under their<BR>
control, as another example.<BR>
