back to the subject matter... i've been told that in the (roughly) NANOG region, that ARIN's 2008-6 or some rough analog should be in place on or before 01jun2009. What is 2008-6? https://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/2008_6.html Draft Policy 2008-6 Emergency Transfer Policy for IPv4 Addresses Author: Bill Darte Date: 24 January 2009 Policy statement: 8.4 Emergency Transfer Policy for IPv4 Addresses For a period of 3 years from policy implementation, authorized resource holders served by ARIN may designate a recipient for number resources they release to ARIN. ok... so lets just presume, for the mo, that I am an "authorized resource holder served by ARIN" and I have a /9 that is becoming a bother. One of my clients, holding discontigious /16's in that /9, desires to use 2008-6 ... and I have no problems w/ that ... HOWEVER. I want to dump the whole /9. How do I find viable receipients for the rest of the space? Get out my pushcart and roam the streets with my bullhorn; "... /16's, /24's... alive, alive Oh!...." --bill
