[WG-BB] Consensus in Bangkok Meeting

[Takashi Arano <arano@gblx.ad.jp>]

All,

Here is the consensus reached in the Bangkok meeting
regarding BB issues. 

Already two years passed since the first proposal from Korea
appeared in March 2000. So we can allow NO MORE DELAY
for broadband guidelines because broadband services 
are being deployed so rapidly in many Asian and Pacific 
countries.

Three items identified at the Taipei meeting were resolved 
at the Bangkok meeting.

1) Obligation of Customer list submission
Consensus is to make submission to be optional, not mandatory.

2) Assignment Justification
Consensus is to keep the original proposal and 
continue to discuss in the ML
(1:1 OK, larger needs justification)

3) Registration threshold
Let's keep the original proposal that
/29 and shorter need to be registered

I believe Gerard will revise and publish draft guideline soon
according to these consensus.

On the other hand, proposals for changes from Japan were rejected
because other people don't need these changes in their countries.
However, one issue raised regarding RIR/NIR consideration 
for LIR$B!G(Bs address shortage during evaluation will be discussed more.

I thank all of you for your great contributions.

Takashi Arano
WG-BB Chair
