[ga] Re: [address-policy-wg] 2007-08 New Draft Document Published(Enabling Methods for Reallocation of IPv4 Resources)

Leo and all,

  It doesn't matter if the wording only applies to IPv6 either.  The
same principals apply as Michael correctly stated them.  Making
IPv6 OR IPv4 address space a liquid asset is a huge error in
judgment.  Such would only make RIR's and LIR's IP address
casinos.
