Registry Working Group

[Michael H Lambert <>]

All,

In a fit of non-lucidity I told Dale I would be willing to chair the IRR 
working group.  I've been remiss in sending out an initial message, but here 
goes.

I'll throw out some discussion points for possible directions for the group.  
I figure we can schedule a call for sometime in early January to provide some 
focus to what I'm sure will show up on this list.  I expect a lot of this to 
mesh nicely with points on Grover's agenda for the Global Summit MANRS 
workshop. 

o Motivation for using IRR.  Potential loss of peering with Google and 
Cloudflare is significant, but that isn't the only reason.

o How-Tos for various aspects of IRR.  Working with registries, tools, etc.

o Perhaps this would culminate with a white paper on best practices.

Is concluding the group by the end of June realistic?  It's not supposed to 
be long-lived.

I'm looking forward to responses and discussion.

Michael
