Although nobody's ever allowed us (AS19933) more than 1 month to renumber, and we've always had to pay both providers during the time, so we've always kept it as short as possible anyway.... NAC may not have posted the whole proceeding at first, but Alex was very clear he wanted commentary only on the allocation policies. Some of us (me included) took it a bit farther. Now it is clear from ARIN - who is supposedly in charge of this stuff in "America" - that nothing is wrong with taking months after your contract expires to number out of PA space, and over a year to renumber into PI space once it is granted. So I guess commentary is no longer needed (except maybe at ARIN meetings?). The first is somewhat customary but by no means universally practiced. Now it seems to be officially sanctioned. I was under the obviously incorrect impression the latter was against ARIN policy. Glad we have official clarification. -- TTFN, patrick
