Wilfried, What would you suggest for a definition of "not in use"? I agree that we do need to define "not in use".

NO, because the method proposed in your Q (and those discussed in this context on the mailng list) is not going to provide reliable data. I am prepared to answer YES, - if this is done for statistical reasons ONLY, - and any data getting published carries an appropriate "fuzziness disclaimer" (tbd). >2. Should the policy be changed so that AS numbers not in use > can be reclaimed? If there is consensus on this we propose > to reclaim AS numbers of networks not multi-homed after six > months. NO. With the qualification that I am more than willing to change that to a YES as soon as - we have an agreed definition of "not in use", - and we have agreed on the procedures (and the cost for verification) to check, plus the impact on the performance of the Hostmaster Role. >Kind regards, > >-- >leo vegoda >RIPE NCC >Registration Services Regards, Wilfried _________________________________:_____________________________________ Wilfried Woeber : e-mail: Woeber at CC.UniVie.ac.at UniVie Computer Center - ACOnet : Tel: +43 1 4277 - 140 33 Universitaetsstrasse 7 : Fax: +43 1 4277 - 9 140 A-1010 Vienna, Austria, Europe : RIPE-DB: WW144, PGP keyID 0xF0ACB369 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
