I think the idea has been mis-understood. This is not going to make
OpenNIC closed at all. Otherwise we'd changeo ur name to ClosedNIC.

This is about being a good netcitizen and to control the use of our T2s
as a tool for large scale DDoS attacks.

Merely requiring via some way for a person to register the IP they will
be coming from does not make our systems closed... It'll still be open
for anyone.

Am I missing something, as I am hearing this "closed" word quite a bit,
but that is not the goal of the idea we're discussing.
