<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi Dan,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>It is just that it seems circular to me that RIRs
decide whether to extend their own oversight rules to competing registries.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>If they can decide elements related to their own
oversight, who is overseeing them?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>If they are overseeing themselves, why is IANA
approval needed for the creation of new RIRs?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>(Formality or not.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>But I understand the concept you are invoking here
about under-sight guarding oversight, if you will.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>

<DIV>Hey Mike,</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I will get you the dates shortly. Just confirming some of the
deadlines. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>On a separate point, I have to disagree with one comment below. Quis
custodiet ipsos custodes, suggesting the RIR oversee themselves. The problem
is that the RIR do not make the policies. It is the thousands of individuals
in the Internet technical community around the world (of which you are
included) that make the rules. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I have seen Internet policy shaped by large corporations, small town
ISPs, individuals from all corners of the globe that have no political clout
or financial influence, and am watching you shape the discussion right here.
This past week I have seen the head of ARIN acknowledge several points made on
this list regarding transfer policies, the RSA, and operational procedures
that may lead to changes in the future. I have a hard time understanding your
question of who is watching the RIR when you are one of the watchmen you are
asking about.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Yes, I do support the kind of oversight

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Perhaps this alone is justification for the

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Since a competing registry would be on the same

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I think the many kinds of conflicts you reference

<DIV>Mike,</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>As one of the AC shepherds for the proposals that were abandoned, I
would offer one suggestion. Feel free to vet the proposal language you are
considering here on this list prior to submitting an actual proposal. That
is what this list is for. It would also help refine the scope that Keith
mentions, and avoid the confusion that earlier proposals created. It is much
easier to refine and evolve policy language on the ppml before it becomes
part of the PDP process. </DIV>

look </SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Calibri"

that resource holders </SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Calibri">could

establish </SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Calibri"

operating properly, could do so in a complimentary manner to the RIR. One
thing people will have issue with is how the overall model can exist with
the individuals who would try to create registries that would not apply
similar standards of operation. Without any protections, the ISP's who would
have to rely on this data would not be able to depend on the overall system
(not referring to any particular registry) which is the shift in burden I
mentioned in an earlier post. </SPAN></SPAN></DIV>

change the rules, and try and hold ARIN accountable. In the distributed
model that is proposed, accountability is spread out, and the ability to
resolve conflicts or issues becomes much harder. These are the kind of
concerns that need to be addressed in order to gain momentum on a change of
this scale. </SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
