Re: heads up on 80/8 [actually operational, so don't read this!!!]
TBH, a new /7 or /8, whatever, going in to production anywhere on the planet should be announced to the regional operators lists (NANOG, APOPS, EOF and AfNOG). Hopefully the registry folks can add that little chore to the long list of other things they have to think of... Or maybe IANA could widen the announcement next time? This was the original from John:

FYI:
This is just a quick heads up, my apologies if you recieve duplicate copies.
IANA has recently allocated the following address ranges to the RIPE NCC Regional Internet Registry.
80.0.0.0 - 81.255.255.255
These will start to be allocated to ISPs shortly.
You may wish to adjust any filters you have in place accordingly.

To keep this operational, this lists the various /8s and who is (nominally) in charge of 'em; it may be of interest to people who haven't reviewed their filters in ages:

We, The Net Operators, should have this information so that we can update our filters, should we see fit to, and thus cause as little negative impact as possible.

Hi Philip, folks, I did actually send this to NANOG, unfortuantely I didn't realise I wasn't on the nanog-post list:( Really should read the wevbsite when I sign up for these things. For that stupidity my apologies. If anyone has other suggestions besides the ripe lists and nanog of where we should post such updates please let me know off list <crain@icann.org>. Despite all the rhetoric about ICANN being a secret and evil club this is one bit of info we really meant to get out there. (Honest:) John On Thu, 17 May 2001, Philip Smith wrote
