The AlterNIC has mostly been focused on domain name issues.
I consider that Stage 1. Domain names are easier because there
was a ready market and more people identify with names.

Now that ARIN has helped to establish some $$$$ amounts
for IP addresses there is a stake in the ground. The various
registries that are developing all over the country now have
their operations more worked out so they can start thinking
about IP registration issues.

In my opinion, it will be easier (and safer) to add IP allocation
registry functions to these new viable and healthy businesses
than to try to breath life into one activity and to keep trying
to make sure it does not fail.

The eDNS meeting being planned in Atlanta has an item
on the agenda for ARIN. I am sure people involved in the
NEW domain registries will express their views there.

Not all URLs have to be IP only...

Here are a few that ARIN readers should know cold...

Also, the ARIN site should probably reference

http://www.wia.org

Especially the IANA part...
