Subject: (Non)-Uniqueness of Net Names
Hi. I'm including the RIPE and InterNIC folks on this discussion.
Here are some questions for your consideration:
1) Should we remove the uniqueness requirement for net names in the
Merit and InterNIC/whois databases?
2) My understanding is that RIPE's database does not require existence
or uniqueness of net names. Is that correct?
3) Do net names serve any useful purpose? Should we get rid of them
altogether?
If we reach consensus here, I suggest that we issue an Internet draft
containing a proposal. If no major concerns are raised we can make
the decision final and issue an RFC. What do you think about this suggestion?
What other people or organizations should be consulted in this process?
