So what do you propose how to tackle this? (As in "this" being "establish stronger ties to the existing resource holders", to figure out where the resources are today, and possibly reclaim those that have been truly lost). I assume that you don't worry about requiring the contracts for *new* end-user assignments, but only worry about retroactively applying those? (I want to point out that the audience at the last RIPE meeting in Amsterdam explicitely asked Nick Hilliard to change 2007-01 v1 to include existing assignments, which v1 did *not* do. So this is how we arrived here...) Gert Doering -- APWG chair -- Total number of prefixes smaller than registry allocations: 110584 SpaceNet AG Vorstand: Sebastian v.
