185/8 received from IANA on feb. 2011 185/8 went "in use" (and the policy started) on sept 2012 > As Roger Jørgensen has explained, once the policy was triggered, it > was to apply to all subsequent allocations. However, in the meantime some events happened: - recovered space issue - space returned to IANA 2012-05 to 2014-04 and gradually returned starting 2014-05 - 2013-03 - no need checking - 2014-04 - no ipv6 requirement - still keeping a high (~= /8) level of "somehow available space" - policy abuse, pushing to limits and general change in "who is a LIR" (get-to-transfer, multi-LIR/company, out-of-continent LIRs - more and more of them, corporate LIRs or simply "just want my damn ASN and /24" LIRs) I hope everybody does realize how this proposal came to life.
