[members-discuss] Re: RIPE NCC Position On The ITU IPv6 Group

Maybe this will give you an insight in what is planned:

http://www.itu.int/dms_pub/itu-d/oth/01/0B/D010B0000073301PDFE.pdf page
89.

- 777
- 14.  As the use of the Internet and other new technologies increase,
- more criminals are provided with opportunities to commit crimes
remotely,
- via telephone lines and data networks.  Presently, malicious
programming
- code and harmful communications (such as child pornography) may pass
- through several carriers located in different countries.  And
- infrastructures such as banking and finance increasingly are becoming
- networked and thereby vulnerable to cyber-attack from distant
locations. 
- We convene today to provide additional personal attention to and
- direction for our joint action against this transnational criminality.

If the ITU gets registry status I think it wil not be long before their
Cybercrime legislation proposals will state that the only safe adres
space
is ITU adres space. This because a country can subject that adres space 
to their own laws.

Now excuse me a minute while I fold my tin foil hat.

True. Like I said in my initial reply to members-discuss (and while
playing a devil's advocate role), I'm not entirely sure what it is that
ITU is striving for : replacing IANA or just becoming a nationwide RIR.
In the latter case this would not automatically mean (also assuming that
local governments will not further interfere in this process) that ITU
would be your one and only one-stop-shop for integers.

But anyhow, don't get me wrong. I agree with all that has been said on
why and how ITU is trying to get a grip on packet switched communication
networks. My only point it that it might not be a bad idea to ponder on
the subject of allowing competition between RIR's in the same
geographical aerea and hence allow ITU to achieve the status of
nationwide RIR.

If Telco's want to request their IP's from ITU instead of RIPE, they
have my utterly blessings...
