ARIN Proposal

[Philip J. Nesser II]

Obviously an answer from someone who doesn't have enough time on his hands
to check the facts,  but does have time to toss off insulting one-liners.

--->  Phil

P.S.  Scott Bradner is someone who has dedicated a vast amount of time to
the Internet, its growth, its operation and its success.  If it wasn't for
people like him this debate would not be happening because the Internet
would not be happening.

Most of the outcry about this proposal has been reactive by people who
haven't taken the time to actually read the proposal, and haven't read the
list archives to see what is going on.  As issues have been explained, some
portion of the most vehment flamers are now okay with the basics of the
proposal and are awaiting the second draft.  Do people realize that this
discussion is only a few weeks old?  It has been public and will proceed
with a speed effectively unmatched by most burocracy.
