Re: IPv6 RIR policy [was Re: IPv6 addresses really are scarce after all]

again, the fundamental problem here is that the RIRs are trying to
second-guess IETF design decisions.

    

      "the" RIRs are membership organizations, with members
      consisting of the operational community.  they have to
      try and work with whatever the IETF gives them.. and when
      what the IETF provides is not operationaly feasable, they
      can and will make changes so that an operational network
      exists.
  
no demonstration has been made that what IETF provided is "not
operationally feasible".  also, I suggest that the RIRs are only
considering operations from a narrow point-of-view.
      now the IETF is a membership organization as well, so
      individuals can participate in both communities..  if
      you feel that an RIR policy is wrong, then the correct
      place to "fix" it is within the RIR community. 
perhaps, but if IETF has the problem that it's not willing to assert its
ownership over its own protocols, that problem is better addressed in
IETF than in ARIN.
