Re: [RAM] Re: Renumbering impossibility: TSL/SSL certs, DNS delegation etc.

1) Sounds to me like a 1920 AT&T director explaining that people did not need a dedicated telephone number. This might have been true. Like ICANN saying in August 2000 that mobiles did not need IP addresses and could be accessed via Telcos' own Gateways as virtual hosts. Or experts of the 90s saying that everyone could accept Windows with large users working on IBM main frames. Who knows?
However, who wants to bet on that?

2) Thomas, I think there is something missing in your summary: a calendar. Time to get a solution, and how long it is expected to stay. This will say if what is looked for at this stage has to be a patch or can be an architecture. We need to see that clarified first.

P2P file sharing is happy if you give it a global IP address that
doesn't change too often and has no NAT in its way.  They have understood
the concept of "using lookup services".
