I presume this is directed at me, even though I'm not the only opponent of this draft, nor even the only vocal opponent. But before I assume this, and renew complaints about inappropriate activity by Mr. Austein in relation to keeping this draft alive despite lack of interest, and despite numerous editing and factual errors in the draft, and complaints of his inappropriate action against Av8 Internet and myself in refusing to accept email from Av8 Internet, refusing not just me personally, but email from all of Av8 Internet to his official IETF address sra@xxxxxxx, and falsely claiming that Av8 Internet's address hijacked. There are legal consequences for these abuses, and the IETF has been previously notified of this. In any case, neither I nor anyone else has "trashed discussion" of this draft on the DNSOP list, nor would it be appropriate to kick any opponent of this draft off the DNSOP list. This threat is yet another in a series of inappropriate actions by Mr. Austein in relation to this draft. The discussion by the opposition has centered around the false and misleading statements in the draft describing the policies of other organizations, and other errors. Exposing those errors and inconsistencies is not "trashing the discussion". The title is misleading given the apparent contents of the draft, but that is only because the draft is internally inconsistent between its early paragraphs and its later paragraphs. These inconsistent statements were added after the notion of making in-addr required was very widely rejected by nearly all participants. Despite the introductory paragraphs which seem to say otherwise, the purpose of the authors in writing this draft is to make in-addr required, and that proposal has been widely rejected, despite Mr. Austein's efforts to keep the idea alive.
