[governance] Re: ITU and ICANN - a loveless forced marriage

[Jeffrey A. Williams]

Siva and all,

  There is allot of bad information about IPv6, and NAT's
floating around.  Nat's are not in and of themselves stupid
to use, they CAN and often ARE used stupidly, IPv6 not
withstanding.  Nat's are going to be around and increasing
in number for many years to come.  Sometimes for good
reasons and sometimes not.

  As for static IP's for either IPv6 or IPv4, you may get a
static IP assinged for either, ergo, such is not an issue really.

  Autoinstall for IPv6 is massively insecure and should not
be used.  But it will likely be predominant.  As such, Internet
security will go through another round of security problems
not yet seen.  But that's good business for me, bad business
overall and bad policy for stakeholders.
