[lir-wg] Name of the LIR WG

  Hi Daniel, Gert et.al.!

  IF we really consider changing things, after a _very_ careful review
  (I hope), I'd have a strong pref to do it in coordination with the other
  RIRs' constituencies.

  "policy" -- policy? what (Internet Content ;-) ??

  The best thing I can think of at the moment is sort of copying from
  the APNIC region, ie. [IP] Address Policy SIG.

  Which (from an ICANN/ASO point of view) still misses the routing
  identifier issue, somewhat, and/or potentially starts to pull the
  Routing-WG into the boat as well.

  And we should be very careful to not _add_ to the confusion in this
  process, with

  - policy being the "open-ness" thingy where everyone is welcome and a
    consensus and/or resource accessibility and distribution decision
    should be worked out, and

  - defining the procedures, which should ultimately remain the
    responsibilty of the NCC and the LIRs in th end, although everyone
    should still be welcome to observe and contribute as much as possible.


  We should think pretty careful about
  - "policy development" for IPv[46] Addresses and Routing Identifiers,
  - "LIR <-> RIR procedure definitions" and, in the end,
  - "funding agreement".
