Actually I'd like to hear a few more voices regarding this latest version
of 2007-01 (v4).  We have deliberatly set a fairly short discussion phase
to be able to get it *done*, finally, before Dubai, so please voice your
opinions now.

*Especially* if you have voiced your support for v3 before (or your
worries about it), a few lines about v4 would be helpful.  Is this 
properly addressing your concerns?  Can you live with the result?


Regarding David Monosov's concerns: this proposal has been discussed
extensively on three (3) RIPE meetings now, and on the mailing list, so
I think all the potential problems it brings have been discussed, and
since the APWG mailing list is open to everybody (not only LIRs), 
everyone affected had a chance to comment on it.

If you agree with the general direction, and just have worries about the
wording of the "counter arguments" section in the formal proposal, I
would tend to *not* do another round (to version 5) of this - the
"counter arguments" section is basically there to take acknowledge some
of the problematic spots, but it's not really affecting the actual
implementation.  So this would just delay things further, without 
real change.

(If you think that the whole proposal is very bad, and you disagree
with the general intention, by all means say so, of course!)


Regarding IPv6 PI: in the discussion regarding this, the mandate was
clear: 'we want/need IPv6 PI, but only in a controlled manner, and
contracts + recurring fee seem to be the only way to tackle this'.  We
will restart the discussion on the IPv6 PI proposal as soon as 2007-01
is done (one way or the other).
