Fortunate indeed that the proposal<br>on the table is merely to allow folks to register the ULA space they<br>use so that no one accidentally uses the same space, without the<br>onerous hoops and costs justifiably needed for the assignment and<br>allocation of GUA space.<br><br></div></blockquote>The latter part, the without the hops and justifiable need issue is a</div><div>policy problem, indeed. If ARIN is to issue ULA, it should be on</div><div>substantially the same terms as GUA so that there is no incentive</div><div>to (mis)use ULA where GUA is required.</div><div><br></div><div>I am all for reducing the GUA barrier to non-onerous.</div><div><br></div><div>Owen</div><div><br></div></body></html>
