2. To relieve the stress on the wait que i would like to see a standard a min ssignment window applied to all none new LIR's, something not too small but something not too large say a /25 - this means that the hostmasters would not be boged down with small insignificant requests and would be able to concentrate on answering the larger requests thus getting used to larger business needs.
I would not like to see this, I think that it is vital that there is no assignment window to new registries. Although I think that if new registries are being managed by exeprienced people who have demonstrated their understanding of the procedures then they should be given an assignment window. So if you left UUNET to setup stephenswarez.com and opened up an LIR you would not have to go through the zero assignment window issues again.
I really see 'none new LIR's' above. So either you have the feeling a LIR understands what it is about and you give them a reasonable assignment window (/25 or something) or you don't and you keep them on 0. I agree with stephen that something in between doesn't really help. Experienced people is difficult to see at a new LIR, or do you want some 'hostmaster certificate'? A new LIR doesn't have many request mostly and it will soon be clear they understand, so the AW will be raised fast. Regards, Andre
