This is a request for consideration of a technical and operations
question. Although it pertains to a political topic, I am only asking for
consideration of a matter that is clearly relevant to nanog.
In particular, what are the 'serious operational impacts' that could
develop? There is a long-standing claim that services of the type offered
by NSI are fine left without special handling (oversight, assistance). To
the extent that problems to such a company can have far-reaching impact on
Internet operations, it would be extremely helpful to understand them
before the fact. This might permit consideration of methods to avoid such
fall-out.
