The RIPE NCC received the IPv6 address range 2001:4000::/23 from the IANA in June 2004. Unbelievable. Morons. Why?
Because man-months of argueing that "/23 allocations are needlessly fragmenting the RIR address blocks, please allocate a decent size (like a /8)" are just plainly ignored by the ICANN folks.
I'll try to scan through archives when I get a chance, but I've been on this list for some time and have not seen much activity... Personally I don't see anything wrong with IANA reserving /8 for RIPE and specifying so on its page, but I really don't see why it should immedialy allocate that much space, as /8 would be what RIPE needs if half of its current membership requested ipv6 and somehow i dont think this is what is happening, you dont even have 10% of your membership doing it yet... -- William Leibzon Elan Networks william@elan.net
