NANOG has their eye on valuable /8s
and also the SWAMP that ARIN is attempting to drain

NANOG does not and will never hold IP address space, other than that used for the conference wireless net.

Absolutes like "never" never seem to work out when
one is dealing with Non-Profit Quangos set up to
benefit a few insiders.

What happens if all of the SWAMP "owners" join
NANOG to protect their IP Address Space assets ?

How can one predict that humans will "never"
do something?

As Milton heads into the Lion's Den of ARIN, he may
not have their tech depth but he never stops asking
questions. ARIN does not like questions.

Unfortunately, the ARIN attendees like the NANOG
groupies are now Fringe Players. They are like
cab drivers in major cities. Yes, they have an
opinion. No, they don't design cars or fix them.
As for what is happening in the air travel industry?
Clueless.

ARIN has a little more "muscle" than NANOG, but
it is largely the same Cabbies. They will of course
claim no one is going to the airport without them.
Uh huh. Sure. OKee-Do-Kee

The big boys (airlines & trains) will take what
they need to move forward. They can also invent
new /8s or use FREE IPv6 address space.

The ISOC & ICANN Labor Union will continue to try
to get their "cut" of the action. Jimmy Hoffa would
be proud.

The NANOG attendees are the top network architects at all of the key carriers and content providers.

"top network architects at all of the key carriers" ??

Are you serious ?

The "architecture" of the Internet is about as
interesting as an asphalt parking lot.

Being the Architect of a parking lot is not rocket science. Painting the lines every few years may
be the major decision.

Recognizing the vital importance of the

life, the Department has made it a top
priority to ensure that the Internet
remains open for innovation. The
Department has assembled a newly
created Internet Policy Task Force (Task

leading public policy and operational
challenges in the Internet environment.
The Task Force leverages expertise
across many bureaus, including those
responsible for domestic and
international information and
communications technology policy,
international trade, cybersecurity
standards and best practices,
intellectual property, business
advocacy, and export control.
As part of the Task Force, NTIA and

review of the nexus between privacy
policy and innovation in the Internet
economy, which will include the
issuance of a notice of inquiry. To
facilitate the review, on May 7, 2010,
NTIA will hold a public meeting to
discuss stakeholder views and to
facilitate further public discussion on
privacy policy in the United States. The
event will seek participation and
comment from all Internet stakeholders,
including the commercial, academic,
and civil society sectors, on the impact
of current privacy laws in the United
States and around the world on the pace
of innovation in the information
economy. A discussion of whether
current privacy laws serve consumer
interests and fundamental democratic
values is also anticipated.
The agenda for the public meeting
