I think it was on CIDRD, actually, no?

Well, one thing I do have is the draft of: "Suggestions for Market-Based
Allocation of IP Address Blocks", by Paul Resnick (then of AT&T Research, I
don't know where he is now - Paul, you out there?), which I have at:
http://ana-3.lcs.mit.edu/~jnc/tech/addr_charging.txt
It never turned into an RFC (shame, I thought it was a really well thought
out draft), and I don't think it's anywhere else permanent.
See http://www.research.att.com/~smb/papers/piara/index.html, by Paul,
Yakov Rekhter, and myself.
