Pragmatically, compelling the release of a legacy allocation to a major company could be difficult, however, if the ARIN community were to draft a resolution to reclaim the space it may have a profound effect on public sentiment toward those companies.
A best practice doc / resolution would be good. It's probably most practical for them to renumber into a subset of their existing space, collapsing down from the whole /8 into a /10 or something longer, which would free up 75% of that space or more. A resolution that made that practice a best practice and that asked that enterprises give a general utilization report to the public to give an idea of whether they were close to being able to do that or far from it seems harmless. It all depends on what their internal network allocation model has been all along. Hopefully sane, but we can't plan on it. -- -george william herbert george.herbert@gmail.com
