Dear Colleagues, As you may be aware the Regional Internet Registries have been active with the "Early Registrations Transfer [ERX] Project". As part of the preliminary investigations of this project and verification of the data by the IANA some /8s previously listed as "Various Registries" have now been designated as unused and as such will be listed in the IANA registries as "IANA Reserved". This update will take effect at http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space as of 23:59 UTC, 31 March 2003. The affected /8s will be listed as follows: 173/8 Apr 03 IANA - Reserved 174/8 Apr 03 IANA - Reserved 175/8 Apr 03 IANA - Reserved 176/8 Apr 03 IANA - Reserved 177/8 Apr 03 IANA - Reserved 178/8 Apr 03 IANA - Reserved 179/8 Apr 03 IANA - Reserved 180/8 Apr 03 IANA - Reserved 181/8 Apr 03 IANA - Reserved 182/8 Apr 03 IANA - Reserved 183/8 Apr 03 IANA - Reserved 184/8 Apr 03 IANA - Reserved 185/8 Apr 03 IANA - Reserved 186/8 Apr 03 IANA - Reserved 187/8 Apr 03 IANA - Reserved 189/8 Apr 03 IANA - Reserved 190/8 Apr 03 IANA - Reserved Comments can be sent to iana@iana.org. -- Best regards, John L.
