Not quite, part or all 62/8 is being assigned by RIPE NCC in Europe, and they don't give out smaller netblocks than /19's. We have 62.216/19 for example. The not smaller than /19 is common policy of RIPE btw.
RIPE are indeed assigning from all of 62.0.0.0/8 and, as per the policy and procedures document ripe-155, are doing so as Miquel says i.e. in blocks of /19 or more. On Monday, the RIPE NCC reported 50 allocations so far, with almost 75% of these appearing in the routing tables. It would be nice if we all got really classless and made this 100%. Mike Norris
