was the first word that came out of my mouth. Last time we had a policy meeting in the JPNIC community, I said no to all policies posted, or at least the ones that I was there to raise my hands for. I'm not interested in IPv4 policy anymore. We're far past the point where any minute effort would help anyone at all. We're just shifting unfairness so I want that stopped. However, IPv6 policy still has some minor nits that may need to be addressed, but not sure how important that is since real IPv6 deployment has only just begun. but then again, some folks may need that inter-RIR transfer policy... what do I know. I just know that my IPv4 is running out and all the time I spend on policy has been shifted to fighting for deployment of IPv6 in a slow changing culture.
