1) Do you support the principle of efficient utilization based on need<br>
(Conservation/Sustainability)?<br></blockquote><div><br>I support Sustainability. I don't support need-based conservation.<br>"need" is too fuzzy a concept, and too easily warped and twisted<br>one way or the other. Giving out /12s of v6 space for 6rd is stupid<br>
and wasteful, and yet it somehow seemed to slip through the<br>"needs" filter. "I'm too set in my ways to implement dual stack<br>properly, so I _need_ to waste oodles of space". Really? How<br>
about you bite the bullet and hire some clueful people who can<br>fit your v6 deployment handily into a normal /32 allocation?<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
2) Do you support the principle of hierarchical aggregation (Routability)?<br></blockquote><div><br>I support aggregation. I don't support hierarchical models of<br>aggregation, which reinforce and support old-school 'tier-1'<br>
backbone models. Part of the strength of the modern internet<br>comes through the level of splay and interconnectedness, which<br>slashes through the old-school models of pure hierarchy.<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
3) Do you support the principle of uniqueness (Registration)?<br></blockquote><div><br>Yes. This is one principle I stand fully behind. The global<br>uniqueness, shepherded by the registries is crucial to the<br>ongoing success of the internet.<br>

4) Do you support the goal of balancing these principles with each<br>
other under the overarching principle of Stewardship?<br></blockquote><div><br>I believe we are called upon to be Stewards, yes.<br>However, I believe that a well-reasoned set of<br>principles will be mutually supporting; when a<br>
supposed principle must be balanced out with<br>the rest of the corpus principalus, I would posit<br>that to be a sign the principle might bear reconsidering<br>and potentially reclassifying or discarding. <br>So, yes to stewardship; no to simple balancing <br>
and compromising; through dissent can come<br>strength and better clarity.<br><br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
