<DIV>Hi Owen,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Yes, it was a dense read, I was hoping that since Edelman advised ARIN that
the spartan concept had been discussed at some level there, and some
simplification of the concepts elucidated in the paper could be forthcoming from
that direction.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>However, I find the price graphs baffling, and the duration of
extinguishment and protections against agents adopting multiple identities to be
subjects for more discussion.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Of course this begs the question of transfer restrictions driving unbooked
transfers, but still the concept is interesting.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I don’t find the social cost of table growth to be as high as the authors
believe, I don’t foresee fragmentation happening to such an extent as to damage
stability, but I realize this is just opinion at this stage.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As the authors state, this is an unusual market and it may be fruitful for
economists to apply their tools.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards,</DIV>
<DIV>Mike</DIV>

<DIV><SPAN style="WHITE-SPACE: pre" class=Apple-tab-span></SPAN>Thanks for
posting that. I found it largely indecipherable, but, I confess ignorance in
both the math involved and the theoretical economics.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="WHITE-SPACE: pre" class=Apple-tab-span></SPAN>I do find the
assumption that the price of IPv4 addresses declines post exhaustion rather
startling vs. the reality that everyone expects IPv4 addressing prices will
increase until IPv4 is obsoleted.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="WHITE-SPACE: pre" class=Apple-tab-span></SPAN>I find the
spartan rule idea novel and interesting. I don't believe it is a viable
substitute for needs-basis, but, I do believe it might be a worth-while
additional constraint.</DIV>
