Hi, Besides agreeing for the most part, I specially appreciate and support your point in going further and suggesting a solution. The drawback I can see with your proposal for the audit is, can you imagine an allocation being auto-approved then taken back as a result of a probably very correct audit? I fail to see all the factors contributing to the long queue. It's probably the hostmasters and management themselves who know better, so we could as well try to work with them to a solution. That should include the objective we want to get to, in order to avoid falling again in the same problem. The three days target seems reasonable enough to me at this time (from a LIR p-o-v).
D. If A and B do not solve the problem then we look to changing the workflow process i.e.. adding an automated approval system with proper audit tracking and processes as detail by the task force or arrange another task force paid by the NCC this time. http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/archive/ripe-39/presentations/lir-wg39-ple naryreport/sld012.html
