Dear Tim, These allocations were obtained through either the RIPE transfer policy or the mergers and acquisitions procedure that was in effect at the time of issuing. Both the RIPE policy and our own procedures have had some revisions over time. It’s still too early to say what effect recent changes have had, but we are monitoring this closely. Kind regards Andrew de la Haye Chief Operations Officer RIPE NCC
Dear Andrew,
Am I correct in assuming that all of those with more than one /22 from 185/8 did so via the various loopholes that have been closed over the last year?

Dear Arash,
We just wanted to confirm that there are currently 6,203 LIRs that hold a /22 allocation from 185/8 with no other IPv4 address space. Out of these, 444 LIRs have more than one /22 from this block, and together they hold 1,423 /22s.
Kind regards,
Andrew de la Haye Chief Operations Officer RIPE NCC
