I propose that Internic reclaim any registered block over one year old which is not advertised in the global routing tables and that this process be repeated quarterly. For example, I personally know of a class B sitting unused for five years. The registrant has machines numbered in this space behind a SOCKS firewall which uses a /26 in PA space from their upstream. Of course the contact has long since left the organization and the e-mail address doesn't work. It is in the public good to reclaim such space posthaste. Voluntary efforts are well and good, but has anyone tried wholesale to match advertisements to registration and find the surplus registrations? Even on a voluntary basis, an enquiry in e-mail to the last known contact of such organizations might turn up a few willing to relinquish. Writing an RFC that such organizations never see won't help.
