It would appear a clarification is necesssary: >>>The @Home allocation was done outside of normal registry procedures by >>>the IANA directly. InterNIC should not be held responsible for that >>>case. >Which confirms that the rules are not well established nor consistently applied. Any very large or unusual request must go outside normal registry procedures (e.g., slow start). @Home is such a case. They made their case directly to the IANA as InterNIC is not authorized to allocate very large or unusual requests directly. The IANA authorized the allocation based on the merits of the request (whatever they might be). None of the registries can allocate very large or unusual requests directly. This rule is quite well established and consistently applied. Regards, -drc
