And it would be nice if the RIRs funded and supported the bogon project that Cymru is running now. Now that the self-organizing RIRs have reached the stage where they have all signed a joint agreement, perhaps they could consider running some joint projects like these? In the interim, perhaps you could shift this address range testing under the Cymru banner? This would make it more likely that people will hear about it because the bogon project is beginning to get some notoriety. >Or, perhaps IANA could even do this before assigning an IP block to an >RIR. IANA no longer exists. It's true that the DoC has a contract with ICANN under which ICANN performs the former IANA functions but it is a mistake to assume that there is even a single vestige of an IANA organization that can think or do anything that is not already on its list of daily activities. --Michael Dillon
