Hi Joe-

I agree this is a broad topic and am cc'ing the wg list.

Can you expand more on why "Options (1) and (2) will not support  
independent routing policies"?  I can see that the campus would need  
to cooperate on developing GENI-needed policies.  Is that what you  
meant?

We do plan to get some addresses from ARIN, although not for every  
GENI component.  There is no timeline yet.  Our assumption has been  
that, in general, if you were deploying something you would provide  
addresses for it (your 'option 1' below) and we would assist you to  
work with your IT dept on getting appropriate policies in place.  
Perhaps this is simple-minded, but if it won't work it I'd like to  
understand why.

I think the goal of collecting parameters we need to register is a  
good one.  Is there anything other than IP addresses and AS numbers?
