This policy proposal would be the wrong vehicle to achieve any outcome towards *that* account - assignment-to-self would still be possible, just no more mandatory. This sounds more like a task for the training department or for the ARCs than for a policy change to me. OTOH: from a database utilization perspective, why would "I put all of my /22 in the DB in form of /29 and /30" be worse than "I use a /16 for customer assignments, /30../24, and register them all (as I MUST do)"? The latter would be many times more objects... Are we no longer aiming for accurate registration, because the DBTF finds that too resource consuming? I'm not sure I understand that line of argument. (Especially if used as an enterprise IPAM - or, more likely, as a mirror of the IPAM - accuracy is likely higher than if someone just manually puts aggregates into the DB whenever he feels like it. No?) Gert Doering -- NetMaster -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...? SpaceNet AG Vorstand: Sebastian v. Bomhard, Michael Emmer Joseph-Dollinger-Bogen 14 Aufsichtsratsvors.: A.
