ok, i did it again, tried to fit a square peg in a round hole. while the immediate problem is past, thanks to the ncc reg folk, i fear that we could benefit from thinking a bit more about $subject.
for a research experiment, we wanted eight or a dozen routable, i.e. /24, prefixes which we would announce from various places in the topology. each /24 would have one pingable address, let's assume .42.
This is a tough nut. I can totally see what you do, and understand what space you need, and for which times. OTOH, I can totally see the NCC being worried about people claiming "experiments! and I need a review!" and running their ISP for a year on temporary space - and with the argument "I want a dozen routable /24s", you can get quite some ISP work done.

i am considering a policy proposal in this space; but want to learn what others see and think, and to see if it is worth the time and effort.
I want research and conferences and all these things to be possible, with temporary address space, and policies to be fairly liberal for "those good things". The NCC needs checklist-able items to say "this is okay" and "that is way too much space, you do not need a /16 for 6 months to run a conference with 1000 attendees for a week. How to codify this? Dunno. Marco, Angela - what's your take on this ("feedback from RS" time)? Gert Doering -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...? SpaceNet AG Vorstand: Sebastian v.
