On the whois front I am actually extremely happy that AFRINIC got raised
by RIPE as they will get the goody neato RIPE whoisdb software that at
least is consistent, parsable and best of all supports CIDR.

(ARIN doesn't support CIDR, though some queries they seem to strip off
the /32 etc., they should simply upgrade to the RIPE version, which
APNIC also uses, and then kick LACNIC to do the same)

/me raises hand for the skiing! Though I do hope you mean a ski-suite, I
don't wear ties and with the current tendency of -15 on the slopes, a
normal suit will be quite chilly :)

As for the IETF, shim6 WG, yes indeed give this a chance, I am quite
sure this is going to work out for most people, except for the ones who
really have only one thing on their minds: an entry in the routing table
to be really cool and interresting. But that part should simply be like
the IPv6 allocations are supposed to be: if you are a large ISP,
providing for a lot (200+ seems a nice limit) customers, you are
entitled a place in the routing entry, the rest can shim6, they usually
don't have their own infrastructure anyways... (no your home network
does not count ;)

Greets,
 Jeroen
