Suggestion: *

Description: Publish certain details of IPv4 waiting list

Value to Community: ARIN should publish certain details of the waiting 
list so that people can make educated decisions about their IPv4 
planning (to the extent IPv4 planning remains relevant).


Apologies for the syntactical ugliness, but < and > are not allowed in 
suggestions so had to be replaced with ( and ), respectively.


I propose that each waiting list entry be published with only the 
following details: (DATE) (PREFIXLEN)

Where (DATA) is the date the entry was put on the waiting list and 
(PREFIXLEN) is the length of prefix being waited for. If the requestor 
specified a range, then (PREFIXSHORT)-(PREFIXLONG) should be shown for 
(PREFIXLEN)

e.g. 2015-07-05 /20-/24, 2016-04-01 /4-/8, etc.


The benefit to the community is increased transparency in the management 
of the queue and a better ability to understand the total inadequacy of 
IPv4.
Users logged into AOL who have a place in the queue should have a marker 
displayed next to their queue entry "(--You are here" or equivalent.
