Unless IANA was responsible for those initial allocations, it should not be IANA's task to make this list. And if IANA makes such a list I think it should be separate from the /8 list presented at http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space I'd much rather have regional registries list information for customers for all blocks for companies that are located in their territory. And that means information for initial allocations made prior to APNIC/RIPE should be moved to those registraries with link available from ARIN. All those /8 which IANA currently lists as having multiple registries are in reality in ARIN's database currently so we might as well consider ARIN to be responsible registry, however in case where majority of allocations in that block are going to custoers in other region, IANA should consider having another RIR be made reponsible for that /8 block. My opinion is that we have chosen right approach by having a heirchy of responsibilities for ip allocations, i.e. IANA->RIR->ISP->customer. We should try to keep to this strategy and for old records have the information transfered to approriate authority. IANA should only keep records for entire /8 in the end. > After that, details on each /8 for all 256 lines > would be useful.
