Re: Last Call: <draft-housley-number-registries-02.txt> (Internet Numbers Registries) to Informational RFC

Specific comments:

Section 2.1, second paragraph:

  The allocation and registration functions for all non-reserved AS
  numbers are handled by the Internet Numbers Registry System in
  accordance with policies developed by the Regional Internet
  Registries (RIRs).

I might suggest:

"The allocation and registration functions for all non-reserved AS numbers 
are currently handled by the Internet Numbers Registry System in accordance 
with policies developed via the Regional Internet Registries' (RIRs) public 
policy development processes."

Section 2.2, first paragraph:

  The allocation and registration functions for all non-reserved
  globally unique unicast IPv4 unicast addresses are handled by the
  Internet Numbers Registry System in accordance with policies
  developed by the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs).

Similar to the previous suggestion (dropping a redundant 'unicast'):

"The allocation and registration functions for all non-reserved globally 
unique unicast IPv4 addresses are currently handled by the Internet Numbers 
Registry System in accordance with policies developed via the RIRs' public 
policy development processes."

Section 2.3, second paragraph:

  The allocation and registration functions for all non-reserved
  globally unique unicast IPv6 unicast addresses are handled by the
  Internet Numbers Registry System in accordance with policies
  developed by the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs).

Similar to the previous suggestion (also dropping a redundant 'unicast'):

"The allocation and registration functions for all non-reserved globally 
unique unicast IPv6 addresses are currently handled by the Internet Numbers 
Registry System in accordance with policies developed via the RIRs' public 
policy development processes."


In all three cases you are proposing to change "are handled" to "are currently 
handled"

Could you kindly explain the rationale for this proposed change in wording, as 
the subtle distinction between the two terms is, I'm afraid, somewhat lost on 
me.

regards,
