Well if all we're discussing is "crumbs" then what's the point? Writing a policy to force regions to give back "crumbs"? I do feel that it's a good idea to enable IANA to have a mechanism to hand out the crumbs. Soon that's all that will be left. What's wrong with making the returning of the crumbs to IANA a regional decision and giving IANA the ability to hand them out to RIRs if it gets them? Just a thought. ----Cathy On Thu, Apr 15, 2010 at 11:37 AM, <michael.dillon at bt.com> wrote: > > Nigel would you not consider directly returning 4 entire /8s > > back to IANA not significant? > > Hmmmm, 4 months supply? > No, I don't think that is a significant amount.
