</span>I suspect that the “very long waiting list” itself presents numerous issues: if a request is approved today and satisfied in 2018, it may well be that the receiver is defunct in 2018 and the network op who filed the request just received a valuable, sellable asset. <— which is not our goal.<br>
<br>
I think that perhaps IPv4 usage and demand needs to be validated when the resources are available, which is a reversal of all past policy.<br>
