Hi David,

I see your point and I agree with the operational benefits of registering.
Scanning back on the archives on ULA-C discussions, there seem to be
two camps, the pragmatic folk who would like to use a registry to
debug operational issues, and the fundamental camp who do not believe
ULA prefixes should be visible, should not be resolvable globally, and
so on. Personally, I'm in the former camp, believing the visibility is
a benefit at times, while the cost of registering is not large.

My question is not should you register the prefixes or not. My questions are:
- what is the status of SixXS as an authority?
- why do the RIRs not assume responsibility?

My first question is somewhat facetious, as the answer is clearly "it
has no authority". The answer to my second question is not captured in
Jordi's reply (thanks for the context, though!) but I'm keenly
interested in it. It seems that if the RIRs did not approve in 2007,
other than closing that gap, why should I do it? I'll wait for others
to reply to David's request for comments but if we are to re-raise the
ULA-C proposal, I'm happy to be involved (surely by transferring our
existing data, but in any other way we believe makes sense).

groet,
Pim
