<div>Have you proposed a global list instead on the APNIC IANAxfer list (and in other</div>
<div>regions)? How has this been received? ARIN (staff and Board) do not have any </div>
<div>preconceived notions on how this process should be organized (hence a reason</div>
<div>for a significant face-to-face discussion in Baltimore), but obviously we can't take </div>
<div>the initiative on a global process without support in other regions for the same type</div>
<div>of outcome.</div>
