[address-policy-wg] Update to RFC2050

(I tried do search trough the archives and found this only deep within 
the 2013-03  discussion.)

The ASO Address Council was made aware of - and had a short discussion 
with one of the author on - the topic of the proposed update to RFC 2050.

The current version of the draft is at
http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-housley-rfc2050bis-01.txt

Below is the messages I have found on the topic on the ARIN ppml
which explains the background of the work in progress.


Personally I think this is a long overdue cleanup of RFC2050 - and the 
Address Policy working-group should perhaps spend some time on follwing 
the development of the document to get the workings right.
