Estimados amigos:

En la región de ARIN se están discutiendo varias 
propuestas de políticas que serán tratadas en la 
próxima reunión de ARIN a realizarse la próxima semana.
Una de las propuestas es sobre lo que se ha dado 
en llamar "IPv4 soft landing"  y consiste en la 
implementación de cambios graduales en los 
requerimientos para la asignación de direcciones 
IPv4 en la medida en que el pool central de direcciones va disminuyendo.

Acabo de enviar el siguiente mail a la lista de 
políticas de ARIN y me pareció también importante compartirlo con ustedes.


En este mail hago mención a una propuesta que 
enviaré. Por supuesto que la enviaré también a la lista de LACNIC.


Espero que les resulte de interés.


Saludos,

Raúl
