[governance] PP: India wants to abolish BGP and introduce national routing and IP management

[Barry Shein]

Straw Man:

The obvious solution to the IPv4 address distribution issues in
Proposal 98 is to have a "flag day" after which IPv4 will no longer be
used in the public internet.

This would put everyone back on equal footing vis a vis address
distribution and resolve this issue.

I realize there are issues involved such as backwards compatability
with older devices though V4/V6 gateways are well understood.

Another issue is "by who's authority?!"

But if for example the DNS root and Tier 1 etc (major connectivity
providers) went along that would be authority enough. The objective is
not to "outlaw" IPv4, just to make it exceedingly inconvenient for
general use after that date (e.g., no more DNS resolutions from the
root and others.)

For discussion's sake I will propose 14 November 2020 00:00GMT which
happens to be Diwali 2020 and a Saturday so Sunday across the date
line.
