[governance] Running on Empty: the challenge of managing

[Jeffrey A. Williams]

Stephane and all,

  I must agree with Geoff here.  The real problems here are that
the reclaiming of unused IPv4 addresses, the lack luster interest
in IPv6 partly due to it's inhearant security/privacy problems,
and the years prior to 2000 when IP address space was handed
out like party favors.  Hence we are where we are, and IPv6 isn't
going to solve the problem.
