"ICANN runs IANA" the same way that "ISOC runs IETF" Once you understand that, you understand why IP is never really on ICANN agenda. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John R.

Probably no interest until somebody figures how to Trademark an IP address and claim ownership to it
I fear you're right, which just shows how totally corrupt and venal ICANN is. ICANN runs IANA, which is the ultimate allocator of IP space. If they were doing their job, which they somewhat did when Vint was chair, they would be pushing IPv6 implementation to limit the instability due to kludges as people overload their limited IPv4 space.
