I thought it would be nice to compliment IANA before bashing him over the head. None of the ad-hoc sources nor RIPE signed their annoucements, so IANA was in good company. IANA doesn't sign any of the published RFCs nor any other data it maintains. So I'm not sure what difference it makes whether the mail message is signed. After we get IANA in the habit of publishing an annoucement when it allocates a new IPv4 block to the RIRs, then we can work on improving the process.
