Oh, Ok. I was wondering if IANA, ARIN, RIPE, APNIC had an announce-only mailing alias for operational announcements. Rather than relying on finding the messages in the middle of the NANOG stream of thought. The RFC-Editor seems to have the process down for announcing new RFCs. On Fri, 6 Dec 2002, Alec H.

Sorry, the announcement was made on NANOG.

Sorry, which operational aliases did the RIRs announce before they started allocating addreses?
ARIN announced the fact that it received the 69/8 delegation on August 8th. ARIN received the delegation on August 6th. ARIN made its first allocation/assignment (I don't know which it was, but that isn't important) out of that block on September 19th.
So, that's over 1 month that people had to fix their filters. We're in December now, and clearly some people still haven't updated their filters.
Do people have any suggestions for ARIN (and other RIRs) on how they can better dissemenate this information so that people will update their filters?
