Ok Boss.

One of the many possibilities! Not the only way, but this one is a low 
hanging fruit.

You must mean "Asia will be sitting on ..."  ?

> the 5:1 ratio has been well argued and eloquently defended and explained.  But as earlier stated it introduces the flaw.


Yes, Badru ... Democracy is a flawed form of Government, but still the 
most acceptable form of flawed government.

So ... what criteria will keep allocation simple, and make the resources 
available to them, so that the academia will not continue to NAT, NAT 
and NAT?  What is really wrong in photabtop? That is already 3 IP 
consumers!!

>> We are exploring ways of putting a resource with a short shelf life and high level of attraction to pirates and brokers, into use, and within the next 2 years. If you are tempted to think of it as hoarding, then call it "legitimate burn".

Yes, I am open to dialog. If you point the flaws that need fixing, I 
promise to roll up my sleeves. For now, this proposal is in second 
draft, and the thorny part is the ratio ....  1:3 (which Andrew and I 
proposed) or 1:5 (which the community thinks is realistic).  Are you 
advocating 1:1 or 1:0.5?

> for the record in principle I'm in  support

lol.  your success as Chair is also important to me. Count on my support.


Sunday.
