Hello all,
first of all, sorry for th delay in answering the messages.
I'm totally agree with this proposal, but I have two doubts:
- the first: the assignment window is applicable to the whole organization
addressing or only to the requests? I mean, if an organization has ten C
classes, then they apply for ten ones more, have I got to take into account the
total of them, twenty C classes, to see if they are reaching to the maximum
assignment window? Or have I got to take into account only the ten C classes
they apply for in the request?
- the second: When will this proposal be made effective? And Paula, could you
tell me which is the maximum assignment window for es.rediris?
In the other hand, I'd like to comment you something that, maybe, would
be related to this issue. I'd like to know if there is any document that say if
there is any policy to apply in case of bad use of the assigned addresses. Have
you ever had an experience in which you have to unassigned addresses to an
organization? Is there any type of revisions we could do to assure the correct
use of the assigned addresses? Maybe this organization doesn't use the total
addressing any more or they applied in the past for a quantity of addresses
that they don't use now because they have reorganized their networks.
Which are your thoughts about this?
Thank you and regards,
Maribel Cosin.
